For the strength and development of the country, the most basic strength of any powerful country in the world still comes from the vast land, that is, the more land the better, then the country must be strong. So don't say that a large piece of land, that is, the land of bullets, can not be lost. This is also the main reason why many countries in the world, for a small island, for a mountain pass, for a section of the sea outlet, etc., pinch you to death. But there are exceptions to this, the most typical is Mongolia, many people do not understand, why mongolia is less than 300,000 square kilometers of land? You might not think of it.
Mongolia is a small country in East Asia and a country that only became independent after World War II, although its presence in the world is low. But in fact, its territory is not small, compared to the small european countries, Mongolia is thousands of times larger. Because its territory is 1.56 million square kilometers, it can rank at the forefront of the world at this level.
But in fact, Outer Mongolia has always been worried about its own land. Because the land of Outer Mongolia is 300,000 square kilometers less for no reason, why is this? You might not think of it. In the history of Outer Mongolia, the land area under its jurisdiction has always been as high as 1.8 million square kilometers, which can be said to be very huge.
Moreover, the princes and nobles of Outer Mongolia at that time had a large area under their jurisdiction, including the present-day Republic of Tuva, as well as some areas in Central Asia. So why did you lose 300,000 square kilometers? In fact, the main reason is two points.
First, the Tangnu Ulyan Sea was annexed.
At a time when Tsarist Russia continued to support the independence of Outer Mongolia, it also continued to encroach on the Tangnu Uliang Sea and deliberately strip this region from Outer Mongolia. Moreover, it was directly annexed and incorporated into the territory of the Russian Far East, becoming a republic. Now the Donu UlyanHai region is a Russian province with a population of only a few hundred thousand, but because of the large number of natives migrating and slaughtering, the largest group is actually the Russians. From this, it can be seen that at that time, the Tsarist Russia's desire for the Tangnu Urian Sea was nothing that could be done about Mongolia.
The second is forced cession.
The point where Mongolia has always been obsessed with the land is that during the period of Soviet control, it was to contain Central Asia. Therefore, the Soviet Union assigned many border areas of Outer Mongolia to Central Asia, which is also a good play of the Soviet Union. After taking control of Central Asia, the five Central Asian countries, ethnic groups, and regions were disrupted, arbitrarily divided, and mutually restrained, so that they could only listen to the Soviet Union.
In fact, the division of outer Mongolia's land was also the same, so that Outer Mongolia could only become an unrelated republic of the Soviet Union. For the current Outer Mongolia or Mongolia, in fact, these 300,000 square kilometers of land are lost forever, and it is basically difficult to recover. What do you readers think about this?
