Editor's Notes
The Mongols attempted to invade Japan twice – (1274 and 1281)
Twice they were repelled by typhoons
Tibet's Dalai Lama, who lives in India, is the religion's spiritual leader, and is highly respected in Mongolia
Communists led an anti-religious campaign in the 1930s, which nearly destroyed monasteries.
Under Communist rule, atheism was promoted and monasteries were closed
From 1945 to 1990, only one monastery (Gandan in Ulaanbaatar) was allowed to operate.
Over 100 monasteries have reopened
This map is basically Map 23 from B. Rinchen's 1979 Ethnographic and linguistic atlas of the Mongolian People's Republic (Ulaanbaatar, Academy of Sciences). I've added the English labels, but that's about it. I've attempted to tweak the colors a bit to make it a bit easier to distinguish between them, but I haven't been very successful. Still, it will do for now. Since the map is from 1979, it obviously doesn't reflect the newest administrative divisions.
Since 1947
Mongolia was the second country to recognize North Korea after the Soviet Union
Mongolia provided assistance to North Korea during the Korean War, although it did not directly participate, and it also contributed to the post-war reconstruction of the DPRK
From 1960 to the mid-1980s - The Sino-Soviet split - Considerably hindered Mongolian-North Korean cooperation
Kim Il-sung visited to the country in 1988
North Koreans see them as non-threatening because they are a fellow non-Western country and went through similar experiences under communism
In 2005, South Korean charity groups received from the Mongolian government an allocation of 1.3 square km of land (40 km from UB to establish a refugee camp. However, as of November 2006, Miyeegombyn Enkhbold, Prime minister, officially denied.
