Btw the Regions of Tibet, inner mongolia and Uyghurstan. these 3 regions were independent countries and these 3 regions were annexed to China only in 18th and again in 20th centuries.
first in Qing Dynasty in 18th century. then foreign Colonialism in China and in inner mongolia and Uyghurstan regions and then China war against colonialism and China Civil War and even when Colonialism gone these 3 regions Tibet, inner mongolia and Uyghurstan declared their independence.
second in 20th century again these 3 regions annexed to China. the problem China facing is that China does not know what to do with these 3 regions or in fact 3 countries that annexed to China, because for a lot of reasons, for example. these 3 regions were not part of China and Chinese people historically and only in 18th-20th centuries were annexed to China and these 3 regions were independent countries before 18th and 20th centuries annexation. the people in these 3 regions are Native people and they have their own history and heritage, languages, writing Characters and alphabet Separated from the history and heritage, language, writing Characters of China and Chinese people. and China makes these 3 regions autonomous regions but only on paper

The video title is utterly ridiculous. A hundred years ago, the Beiyang government conquered the Mongols with just 2, 000 troops. At the time, the Mongols were already on the brink of collapse due to the genocidal policies of the Manchu rulers during the Qing Dynasty. Additionally, almost every Mongol was deeply indebted to Han Chinese merchants. It was only through a combination of excessive debts, the brutal rule of the Beiyang government, and Soviet intervention that Mongolia barely achieved independence. How could they possibly reclaim Inner Mongolia, where Han Chinese are the majority Today, Mongolia is as precarious as Greenlandalways at risk of being reclaimed by China.
Westerners often have an inexplicable tendency to praise Mongolia while secretly disliking it. During the Cultural Revolution, the Chinese Communist Party carried out what could be considered genocide against Mongolians, yet this has seemingly never been widely discussed. The Western world seems more willing to spread rumors about Tibet and Xinjiang than to address the CCP's massacres of Mongolians. Furthermore, the ongoing eradication of the Mongolian language by the CCP is happening now, but it also appears to receive little attention.

Ah Roman Von Ungern Sternberg.
>Believed to be a reincarnation of Gengis Khan
>Family apparentally claimed Mongol ancestry long before he went to Mongolia
>Practiced a strange Christianity-Bhuddism hybrid with lots of alcohol
>Likely mythical story about a bullet ricocheting off one of his medals when they executed him
>I liked the way Indie Nidell and The Great War show described him: he wasn't just a school bully, he was the guy bullies were afraid of
>reportedly charged machine gun lines head on without fear. AND LIVED
A part of me thinks he had the rotten luck of being born in the wrong time period, if he was born just a few hundred years earlier i think he could have carved out his own little kingdom that would have fractured immediately after his death (this is part of the course for Steppe empires)

I lived in the Ordos province of Inner Mongolia. And I fell in love with so many Mongolian things. But I’ve given up trying to explain things to people, because saying Inner Mongolia has made people think that I’m trying to sound pretentious of living in the center, true Mongolia, or something. I appreciate this video and any others, especially as China is making extreme efforts to crack down on minorities like the Mongolians in China. (They’ve begun banning non-Mandarin in schools.
The Mongolian spoken in Inner Mongolia is a different dialect than what’s spoken in Ulaanbaatar, with a totally unique and more ancient writing system. I can’t imagine losing that, and I hope we can bring awareness to the region.

This reminds me of how i would troll my friends on twitter years ago by talking about how I didnt believe Mongolia was a real country because nobody knows or has ever met a real Mongolian and nobody knows any one who has ever been there. So its not real because nobody can actually prove it, physically. Lolololol of course some people got way too offended and tried to prove to me Mongolia was real with links and pictures. But nobody actually could find one lmao and nobody was willing to tracel there to prove me wrong so i would go on and on and on randomly. It was so funny when i would catch somebody who didnt know i was joking and taking the whole thing too seriously lolol good times.
This was super interesting though!

Inner mongolia was actually treated the same as outer mongolia such as no chinese permanently living in both mongolias and not having mongol wives etc. But in 1891 due to land shortage and other reasons chinese people migrated to inner mongolia but not peacefully they forced ethnic mongols or kicked them out of their pasture lands for farm land and killed many mongols some people estimate it to be 500, 000 mongols killed but conservative estimates say it was atleast 250, 000 mongols killed but the corrupt and recently defeated by foreign powers in the opium wars had bigger problems so just couldnt do anything this was known as the jindandao genocide

Mongolian independence referendum was held under Soviet supervision with a 100% approval rate. Not a single voter rejected independence. Half a million people were able to carve out a big chunk of land out of a country with more than half a billion (Mongolia and China's population at the time. It was basically China's Crimea time.
Imagining some American aboriginals with 0. 1% of the US total population, voted for independence, and managed to take 14% of the total land mass, or roughly double the size of Texas, away from the US. Things like that don't normally happen.

Another historical event on that topic was after the second world war. The Soviet Union occupied the Japanese Inner Mongolian puppet state of Mengjiang in which they established the Inner Mongolian People's republic as a puppet state. To not lose more Mongolia to the Soviets, a Inner Mongolian member of the CCP went to that new Inner Mongolian state and took control which he then reorganized into the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region and joined it into the CCPs territory which later turned into the PRC

Fun Fact: In 1936 Inner Mongolia was it's own separate puppet state of Japan called Mengjiang, Mengjiang attempted to invade China that same year in what was called the Suiyuan Campaign where Mengjiang was defeated. During WW2 Mengjiang declared war on the Allied Powers with an Army of only 20, 000 troops, about 5 to 6 Tanks, and about 7 homemade Armored Cars and only 7 Warplanes, Later in 1945 the USSR invaded Mengjiang and gave it to China after WW2.

Another interesting fact, the Mongolian army fought against Japan after 1945 and even conquered parts of Inner Mongolia. However, despite their success, they were forced by the Soviets to hand over Inner Mongolia to Mao. This was part of Stalin's strategy to strengthen Mao's position against the Kuomintang and secure a communist ally in China during the Cold War. With that help Mao's Communist forces officially defeated the Kuomintang (KMT) in 1949.

Reads about Roman von Urgen-Sternburg
During a popular uprising by estonian peasants in 1905, Sternburg (whose family were nobility that owned land that said peasants worked) was quoted as saying that they (the estonians) were rough, untutored, wild and constantly angry, hating everybody and everything without understanding why
And I find that a truly fascinating comment in it's complete lack of self-awareness judging from his behavior.

Inner Mongolia isn't part of Mongolia because, after WWII, Stalin aimed to expand communism in Asia. Instead of annexing territories like Manchuria, East Turkestan and Inner Mongolia, which were under full Soviet control, he used them as a base for Mao's communist forces to fight the Kuomintang. This strategic decision helped Mao establish communist China, aligning it with the USSR during the Cold War, until the split between Mao and Stalin.

The truth is that Chiang Kai-shek of China signed the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty with Stalin of the Soviet Union in 1945. The purpose was to require Stalin not to support the Chinese Communist Party, so Outer Mongolia became independent.
Then when Mongolia joined the United Nations in 1961, Chiang Kai-shek did not use his veto power.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek was a traitor who lost power and humiliated the country.

1: 53 Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if I remember right, the Republic of China at this time, did not control Taiwan.
Taiwan was colonized by the Japanese from 1895 to 1945, when it was retroceded to the ROC, after the defeat of Japan.
So if this map represents, like I understand, the situation between 1912 and 1945, Taiwan should not be blue.
Otherwise great video, thank you!

Inner Mongolia is basically no longer Mongolia and nearly fully sinisized. Even if they still use the old Mongolian alphabet that Mongolia is soon to reuse, Inner is Mongolia is now only 17% ethnic Mongolian and only a small minority speak Mongolian. Outer Mongolia is 95% Mongolian with 3% Kazakh and nearly all the people speak the Mongolian language over there.

After the collapse of the yuan dynasty northern yuan dynasty was formed yet short lived, with mongols calling their nation of 40 ten thousand mongols and 4 ten thousand oirats after dropping the northern yuan title, though mongol emperors still launched several campaigns against the south which ultimately weakened mongol unity and resolve

Fun fact: Inner Mongolia is more Mongolian than Mongolia. Mongolians in China use the Mongolian script but Mongolians in Mongolia use the Cyrillic script. When Mongolia tried to re-adopt their old script, they had to hire teachers from China because not enough Mongolians in Mongolia could teach their own script.

Crazy how the Mongol empire managed to conquer all of China with the size just like the USSR but it was never rich, however until today, sadly their country is still extremely poor in comparison with their historical neighbours like China and Korea due to their geographical location and government.

The division of Mongolia into Inner and Outer regions is a perfect example of how geography and politics collide. The Chinese assimilation policies in Inner Mongolia are a stark contrast to the independence of modern Mongolia, and this video sheds light on the long-term effects of those decisions.
