About Mongolia

Map is showing Mongolia a large and sparsely populated, landlocked country in eastern Asia south of Russia and north of China. With an area of 1,564,100 km² Mongolia is twice the size of Turkey or slightly smaller than Alaska.

The area of what is now Mongolia has been ruled by various nomadic empires for centuries. In 1206, Genghis Khan founded the Mongol Empire, and his grandson Kublai Khan conquered China to establish the Yuan dynasty.

During the collapse of the Manchu-founded Qing dynasty in 1911, Mongols established the Temporary Government of Khalkha on 30 November 1911. This was before the forced abdication of Puyi, the last Qing emperor and the establishment of the Republic of China.
