history

Towards the end of the Qing Dynasty of the Manchus in China was the former territory of Outer Mongolia in the Khanate Khovd , Jassaktu , Sain-Noin , Tushetu , and Tsetsen divided. After the Mongolian declaration of independence in 1921, the provinces of Alxa , Ordos , Shilin Gol , and Jirim remained with China, and Tuva became the independent Republic of Urjanchai . The existing administrative division was initially retained within the new Mongolian People's Republic .

After the end of the Russo-Japanese War in 1941, an administrative reorganization took place, from which the aimags Archangai , Tschoibalsan , Dorno-Gobi , Dsawchan , Chentii , Chowd , Chöwsgöl , Ömnö-Gobi , Öwörchangai , Töw and Uws emerged . In 1954 a long stretch of the southern Gobi fell back to China. The division into the remaining Mongolia was refined, and the aimags Bajanchongor , Bajan-Ölgii , Bulgan , Dund-Gobi , Gobi-Altai and Süchbaatar emerged. The Selenge Aimag was split off from the Töw Aimag two years later.

In 1963 the Tschoibalsan-Aimag was given the new name Dornod-Aimag and the capital Ulan Bator (now Ulaanbaatar) was spun off from the Töw-Aimag as an independent administrative unit. The newly founded industrial cities Darchan (1961 in the Selenge Aimag) and Erdenet (1975 in the Bulgan Aimag) received the same status . In 1994 two sums of the Bulgan Aimag were spun off, and together with Erdenet they were raised to the Orkhon Aimag , and four sums of the Selenge Aimag and Darchan became the Darchan-Uul-Aimag . The Gobi-Sümber-Aimag was split off from the Dorno-Gobi-Aimag in 1996.
