A nomadic pastoral society, the Mongols in 13th century conquered most of Asia to form the largest empire ever. In the 16th century they adopted Buddhism. The range of Mongolian culture extends from northeastern China westward to eastern Xinjiang, China and from Ordos Desert in Inner Mongolia, China northward to Lake Baikal in Siberia. Mongols also live in Qinghai Province, China and along the lower Volga and Don rivers of Russia. There is a small remnant Mongolian community in Yunnan Province, China. This file contains information about the Mongols generally, but focuses particularly on Mongolia. The Khalkha Mongols constitute the majority of the population of Mongolia.
