Abstract
This chapter from the book, 'Modern Mongolia' (see documents nos. 24, 26 and 27) tells the twentieth-century history of Mongolia from the end of Manchu rule (1900-1911) to the establishment of a new republic and post-socialist transition (1990-2000.) Bumaa describes the social order under the Manchus, the 1920's eradication of the noble class and Lamas, 1930's collectivization, followed by war with Japan, and 1950's industrialization. He recounts the leadership struggles and the heavy involvement of Russian and Chinese in Mongolian political affairs throughout this period.
