Background
In 1911, the Xinhai Revolution broke out and Outer Mongolia declared its independence on December 29, 1911.[3][4] The newly established Bogd Khanate of Mongolia led by the Bogd Khan lasted for 8 years until it was occupied by the Republic of China in 1919, but regained its independence on 11 July 1921.[5][6]
