The history of Mongolia is actually quite interesting, and we all know that the Yuan Dynasty, a great unified dynasty that was established in the Central Plains in history, was established by the Mongols. It can be said that such a nation also had a glorious history in the early days.
In fact, in the early days of the Qing Dynasty, whether it was Inner Mongolia or Outer Mongolia was still the territory of the Qing Dynasty, it was an inseparable piece of land, but the later the Qing Dynasty, the more this land became more and more divided, and Outer Mongolia eventually went to the road of breaking away from the Qing Dynasty, but fortunately Inner Mongolia never thought of breaking away from the Qing Dynasty.
Finally, with the help of Tsarist Russia, Outer Mongolia broke away from the Qing Dynasty, which was already the end of the Qing Dynasty, and although no one wanted to see this scene, the Qing government could do nothing about it.
After the qing dynasty, Outer Mongolia began to lean on the thigh of Tsarist Russia, and after the overthrow of Tsarist Russia, it became a vassal state of the Soviet Union, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Outer Mongolia knew that this "thigh" was tilted to the head, so it began its own independent development path.
However, Outer Mongolia, which has embarked on the road of independent development, has not made much progress today, not only economically, but also has a relatively small population, and it is not at all like a country with such a large land.
This is because although Mongolia has 1.5 million square kilometers of land, most of the Mongols still live a nomadic life, a way of life that is very backward today.
And this way of life is also different from the previous agricultural civilization in our country, the direct marriage of the agricultural civilization to the impact of the population is to greatly increase the number of people, and the nomadic people live by water and grass, which will greatly affect the growth rate of their population.
In addition to the nomadic way of life, Mongolia's topography is also an important reason for the growth of Mongolia's population, don't look at Mongolia has more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land, but in such a large land, the steppe and the Gobi account for a large part, so there are not many places for Mongolians to settle, which has caused the current situation of mongolian population life is very concentrated, except for a few cities in the country, other places basically do not see people settling.
In fact, the above is not the most important, to say that the real impact on the Mongolian population, but also the level of economic development in Mongolia, in the whole of Mongolia, many people still live in the yurt, even a lot of basic resident facilities can not be guaranteed, so that Mongolia simply can not afford to vigorously develop the population, a hundred and fifty million square kilometers of large country, the gross national product is only more than ten billion US dollars, not more than a fraction of Inner Mongolia.
From this, we can see what a wrong decision It was for Outer Mongolia to break away from our embrace, and if it had not chosen to secede and gained the support of our government, it might not have been what it is now.
Because inner Mongolia, which has not left China before, has developed very rapidly with the strong support of our government, and the economic level has developed by leaps and bounds, so now the population has exceeded 26 million, compared with the 3 million people in Outer Mongolia, Inner Mongolia has become nine times more than Outer Mongolia.
