Orang '''Mongol,''' atau '''Mongolic''', adalah kelompok etno-linguistik [[Asia Utara]] dan [[Asia Tengah|Tengah]]n ([[Inner Asia]]). Meskipun kelompok Mongolic terbesar terdiri dari penduduk [[Mongolia]], mereka juga hidup sebagai minoritas di Asia Utara, termasuk di [[Rusia]], [[Cina]], dan banyak negara bekas [[Uni Soviet]]. Kelompok etnis [[Buryats |Buryat]] merupakan masyarakat Mongolik yang hidup terutama di tempat yang sekarang merupakan Republik otonom [[Buryatia]], Rusia. Di Cina, mereka tinggal terutama di [[Inner Mongolia]] atau, lebih jarang, di [[Xinjiang]]. Masyarakat Mongolic terikat bersama umumnya oleh [[budaya]] dan [[bahasa]], sekelompok ucapan terkait dikenal sebagai [[bahasa Mongolic]].

== Definisi ==
Didefinisikan secara luas, istilah Mongol mencakupi juga yang dikenal sebagai [[Khalkha]]), yang [[Buryats]], [[Oirats]], [[Kalmyks]] dan [[Mongol Selatan]].

Penyebutan "Mongol" sempat tampil dalam catatan [[Dinasti Tang]] dari Cina pada abad ke-8, menggambarkan suku [[Shiwei]], dan muncul lagi kembali pada akhir abad ke-11 pada masa pemerintahan [[Dinasti Liao|Khitan]]. Setelah jatuhnya [[Dinasti Liao]] pada 1125, [[Khamag Mongol]] menjadi suku terkemuka di [[dataran tinggi Mongolia]]. Namun, perang mereka dengan [[Dinasti Jin (1115-1234)|Dinasti Jin]] dan [[Tatar konfederasi | Tatar]] telah melemahkan mereka. Pada abad ketiga belas, kata Mongol tumbuh menjadi istilah umum untuk kelompok besar suku [[Mongolic]] yang bersatu di bawah kekuasaan [[Genghis Khan]].<ref name="britannica">{{cite web

== Sejarah ==
{{Main|History of Mongolia}}
Dalam berbagai kesempatan orang Mongolik telah disamakan dengan [[Scythians]], [[Gog dan Magog|Magog]] dan orang [[Tungusic]]. Berdasarkan teks-teks sejarah Cina, leluhur dari orang-orang Mongolic dapat ditelusuri kembali ke [[orang Donghu|Donghu]], sebuah konfederasi nomaden yang menempati timur Mongolia dan [[Manchuria]]. Identitas [[Xiongnu]] (Hünnü) masih diperdebatkan saat ini. Meskipun beberapa sarjana berpendapat bahwa mereka merupakan [[proto-Mongol]], fakta bahwa sejarah Cina melacak suku-suku Turkik tertentu dari Xiongnu mempersulit masalah ini.<ref>John Man ''Attila: the barbarian king who challenged Rome'', p.38</ref> Telah mengemuka pula bahwa bahasa [[Hunnik]] terkait dengan Hünnü.<ref>Étienne de la Vaissière, Xiongnu. [http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/xiongnu Encyclopedia Iranica online], 2006</ref><ref>Dr. Obrusánszky, Borbála : The History and Civilization of the Huns. Paper of the University of Amsterdam, 8 October 2007. Page 60. [http://www.epa.oszk.hu/00000/00007/00028/pdf/00028.pdf]</ref>
<!--<ref>The autonomous Hunnic language was evidenced – [http://hunsarecoming.oxyhost.com/orighunlang.htm summary], Prof. Uchiraltu: The words of Hunnic language, 2007, Inner Mongolian University Press</ref><ref>The Asian Huns in the Chinese sources. Katalin Csornai, 2007, Budapest, Hungary [http://hunsarecoming.oxyhost.com/articles/asianhuns_chinesesources.htm summary]</ref> -->

Donghu, bagaimanapun, bisa jauh lebih mudah diberi label proto-Mongol sejak sejarah Cina melacak hanya suku-suku dan kerajaan Mongolic (orang [[Xianbei]] dan [[Wuhuan]]) berasal dari mereka, meskipun beberapa teks sejarah mengklaim campuran Xiongnu-Donghu merupakan leluhur untuk beberapa suku (misalnya [[orang Khitan|Khitan]]).<ref>[[Frances Wood]], ''The Silk Road: two thousand years in the heart of Asia'',p.48</ref> Donghu sebagaimana disebutkan oleh [[Sima Qian]] telah ada di [[Inner Mongolia]], utara [[negara Yan]] pada 699-632 SM bersama dengan orang [[Shanrong]]. Keterangan dalam '' [[Yizhoushu]] '' ("Lost Book of Zhou") dan '' [[Shanhaijing]] '' menunjukkan Donghu juga aktif selama [[dinasti Shang]] (1600-1046 SM ). Xianbei dalam ucapan bahasa Mongolik adalah '' sumbe '' merupakan bagian dari konfederasi Donghu,tapi tetap punya kemerdekaan.

Setelah Donghu dikalahkan oleh raja Xiongnu [[Modu Chanyu]], Sümbe dan [[Wuhuan]] selamat sebagai sisa-sisa utama konfederasi. [[Tadun]] Khan dari Wuhuan (meninggal 207 AD) adalah leluhur dari proto-Mongolic [[Kumo Xi]].<ref>[[Xin Tangshu]] 219. 6173.</ref> Wuhuan adalah pemilik langsung garis royal Donghu,sehingga pada 209 BC Modu Chanyu mengalahkan Wuhuan karena menggunakan kata Donghu.Namun Xianbei yang dari garis Donghu lateral dan memiliki identitas yang terpisah, meskipun mereka berbagi bahasa yang sama dengan Wuhuan. Pada 49 AD penguasa Xianbe mongol, Bianhe (Bayan Khan?) menyerang dan mengalahkan Xiongnu, menewaskan 2000, setelah menerima pemberian yang berlimpah dari [[Emperor Guangwu of Han]]. Xianbei mencapai puncaknya dibawah Tanshihuai Khan (memerintah 156–181) yang punya wilayah luas, tapi berumur pendek, [[Sumbe Empire]] (93–234).

[[File:XianbeiState.jpg|thumb|Xianbei Empire under Tanshihuai (141–181).]]
Tiga tokoh kelompok proto-Mongolic memisahkan diri dari [[negara Xianbei | Xianbei]], sebagaimana dicatat oleh sejarah China: [[Rouran | Nirun]] atau Rouran (diklaim oleh beberapa orang sebagai [[Eurasia Avar | Avar]] ), yang [[orang Khitan | Khitan]] dan [[Shiwei]] (sub-suku yang disebut "Shiwei Menggu" yang dianggap asal Genghisid Mongol).<ref>University of California, Berkeley. Project on Linguistic Analysis, ''Journal of Chinese linguistics'', p.154</ref> Selain tiga kelompok Xianbei ini, ada kelompok Xianbei lain dengan Mongolic afiliasi seperti [[Murong]], [[Duan (Kaum) | Duan]] dan [[Tuoba]]. Budaya mereka adalah nomaden, agama mereka [[Shamanisme]] atau [[Buddhisme]] dan kekuatan militer mereka tangguh. Masih belum ada bukti langsung bahwa Nirun berbicara [[bahasa Mongolic]], meskipun kebanyakan sarjana setuju bahwa mereka proto-Mongolic.<ref>Thomas Hoppe, ''Die ethnischen Gruppen Xinjiangs: Kulturunterschiede und interethnische'', p.66</ref> The Khitan, bagaimanapun, memiliki dua script kata-kata mereka sendiri dan banyak Mongolic ditemukan dalam tulisan-tulisan setengah diuraikan mereka.

[[File:Asia 500ad.jpg|thumb|Asia in 500 AD, showing the Mongolic Nirun (Juan-Juan) Empire and its neighbors, including the Mongolic Northern Wei Dynasty and the Mongolic Tuyuhun Khanate]]

Secara geografis [[Tuoba]] [[Xianbei]] memerintah bagian selatan [[Southern Mongolia]] dan China utara, Nirun ([[Yujiulu Shelun]] adalah orang pertama yang menggunakan gelar '' Khagan '' di 402) memerintah [[Mongolia Timur]], [[Western Mongolia]], bagian utara Southern Mongolia dan [[Northern Mongolia]], Khitan terkonsentrasi di bagian timur selatan Mongolia utara dari [[Korea]] dan Shiwei berada ke utara Khitan. Maskapai suku dan kerajaan segera dibayangi oleh munculnya [[masyarakat Turki | Turki]] [[Turki Khaganate | Gok-Turk]] di 555, yang [[Uyghur Khaganate | Uyghur]] s di 745 dan [[Yenisei Kirgiz ]] negara bagian di 840. The Tuoba akhirnya diserap ke China. The Nirun lari barat dari Gok-Turks dan baik menghilang ke dalam ketidakjelasan atau, seperti beberapa orang mengatakan, menginvasi Eropa sebagai [[Eurasia Avar | Avar]] di bawah mereka Khan [[Bayan I]]. Beberapa Rouran bawah Tatar Khan bermigrasi timur mendirikan [[Tatar konfederasi | Tatar]] suku, yang menjadi bagian dari [[Shiwei]]. The [[orang Khitan | Khitan]], yang mandiri setelah pemisahan mereka dari proto-Mongolic [[Kumo Xi]] (dari [[Wuhuan]] asal) pada 388 AD, dilanjutkan sebagai kekuatan kecil di Manchuria sampai salah satu dari mereka, [[Abaoji | Ambagai]] (872-926), mendirikan [[Khitan Empire]] (907-1125). Perusakan Uyghur Khaganate oleh Kirghiz mengakibatkan berakhirnya dominasi Turki di Mongolia. Menurut sejarawan, Kirhgiz tidak tertarik asimilasi lahan baru diperoleh; sebaliknya, mereka mengendalikan suku setempat melalui berbagai manaps (pemimpin suku). The Khitan menduduki daerah yang ditinggalkan oleh orang-orang Uyghur Turki membawa mereka di bawah kendali mereka. The [[Yenisei Kirgiz]] negara dipusatkan pada [[Khakassia]] dan mereka diusir dari Mongolia oleh Khitan di 924. The Khitan lari ke barat setelah kekalahan mereka oleh [[Jurchens]] (kemudian dikenal sebagai [[Manchu orang | Manchu]]) dan mendirikan Kara-Khitan (Black Khitan) atau [[Western Liao]] (Western Iron) Empire (1125-1218) di bagian timur [[Kazakhstan]]. Pada 1218, Genghis Khan menghancurkan Kara-Khitan Raya setelah itu Khitan berlalu ke dalam ketidakjelasan. The modern minoritas Mongolic berbahasa [[Daurs]] di Cina adalah keturunan langsung mereka berdasarkan bukti DNA<ref>Uradyn Erden Bulag ''The Mongols at China's edge: history and the politics of national unity'', p.167</ref><ref>Ruofu Du, Vincent F. Yip, ''Ethnic groups in China'', p.27</ref>dan Khitan lainnya berasimilasi dengan Mongol (Southern Mongol), [[masyarakat Turki]] dan [[China Han]].

The [[Shiwei]] included a tribe called the Shiwei Menggu (Shivei Mongol).<ref>Paul Ratchnevsky, Thomas Nivison Haining ''Genghis Khan: his life and legacy'', p.7</ref> [[Bodonchar Munkhag]] ([[Chagatai language|Chagatai]] tradition dates 'Buzanjar Munqaq' to the rebellion of [[Abu Muslim Khorasani|Abu Muslim]] or 747 AD.<ref>Munis, M.R.M.Agahi, Firdaws al-iqbal, p.15</ref>) the founder of the [[House of Borjigin]] and the ancestor of Genghis Khan is held to be descended from the Shiwei Menggu. The early [[Shiwei]] paid tribute to the [[Northern Wei|Tuoba Wei]] (386–534) and submitted to the Khitans. After the Khitans left Mongolia the [[Khamag Mongol]]s rose to prominence, when from the 1130s there were reciprocally hostile relations between the successive khans of the [[Khamag Mongol]] confederation ([[Khaidu (ruler)|Khaidu]], [[Khabul Khan]] and [[Ambaghai|Ambaghai Khan]]) and the emperors of the [[Jurchen people|Jurchen]]'s [[Jin Dynasty (1115–1234)|Jin dynasty]].The Jin Dynasty fell after their defeat against the rising [[Mongol Empire]], a steppe confederation that had formerly been a Jurchen vassal. Mongolic Khitans and Tuyuhuns or [[Monguor people]] (1227) came under rule of the Mongol Empire after conquest of the Western Xia and Jin Empires.The Kara-Khitans voluntarly submitted to Genghis Khan in 1218.

With the expansion of the [[Mongol Empire]], the Mongolic peoples settled over almost all [[Eurasia]] and carried on military campaigns from the [[Adriatic Sea]] to [[Indonesia]]n [[Java]] island and from [[Mongol invasion of Japan|Japan]] to [[Palestine]] ([[Gaza City|Gaza]]). They simultaneously became [[Padishah]]s of [[Persia]], [[Emperors of China]], [[Great Khans]] of Mongolia and one even became [[Sultan of Egypt]] ([[Al-Adil Kitbugha]]).The Mongolic peoples of the [[Golden Horde]] established themselves to govern Russia by 1240.<ref name="Jerry Bentley 1993">Jerry Bentley, "Old World Encounters: Cross-Cultural Contacts and Exchange in Pre-Modern Times (New York: Oxford University Press, 1993), 136.</ref> By 1279, they conquered the Song Dynasty and brought all of China under control of the [[Yuan Dynasty]].<ref name="Jerry Bentley 1993"/>

Dengan runtuhnya Kekaisaran, masyarakat Mongolic yang tersebar dengan cepat mengadopsi budaya sebagian besar Turki di sekitar mereka dan berasimilasi, membentuk bagian dari [[Azerbaijan]], [[Uzbek]], [[Karakalpaks]], [[Tatar]], [[Bashkirs]], [[Turkmens]], [[Uyghur]], [[Nogays]], [[Kyrgyzs]], [[Kazakh]], [[Orang Kaukasus | Caucasaus masyarakat]], [[Iran masyarakat]] dan [[Mughal (Kaum) | Moghuls]]; linguistik dan budaya [[Persianization]] juga mulai menjadi terkemuka di wilayah ini. Beberapa Mongol berasimilasi dengan [[Yakuts]] setelah migrasi mereka ke Northern Siberia dan sekitar 30% dari [[bahasa Yakut | Yakut kata]] memiliki Mongol asal. Namun, sebagian besar Yuan Mongol kembali ke [[Mongolia]] di [[Dinasti Yuan # Northern Yuan | 1368]], mempertahankan bahasa dan budaya mereka. Ada 250.000? Mongol di selatan Yuan (Cina) dan banyak Mongol dibantai oleh perintah raja China dan China melarang Mongol kembali. The [[Dongxiangs]], [[Bonans]], [[Yugur]] dan [[Monguor orang]] diserang oleh Cina [[Dinasti Ming]].With the breakup of the Empire, the dispersed Mongolic peoples quickly adopted the mostly Turkic cultures surrounding them and were assimilated, forming parts of [[Azerbaijanis]], [[Uzbeks]], [[Karakalpaks]], [[Tatars]], [[Bashkirs]], [[Turkmens]], [[Uyghurs]], [[Nogays]], [[Kyrgyzs]], [[Kazakhs]], [[People of Caucasus|Caucasaus peoples]], [[Iranian peoples]] and [[Mughal (tribe)|Moghuls]]; linguistic and cultural [[Persianization]] also began to be prominent in these territories. Some Mongols assimilated into the [[Yakuts]] after their migration to Northern Siberia and about 30% of [[Yakut language|Yakut words]] have Mongol origin. However, most of the Yuan Mongols returned to [[Mongolia]] in [[Yuan Dynasty#Northern Yuan|1368]], retaining their language and culture. There were 250,000? Mongols in southern Yuan (China) and many Mongols were massacred by Chinese king's order and China prohibited the Mongols to return. The [[Dongxiangs]], [[Bonans]], [[Yugur]] and [[Monguor people]] were invaded by Chinese [[Ming Dynasty]].

Setelah jatuhnya Dinasti Yuan pada tahun 1368 Mongol mendirikan negara merdeka mereka sebagai [[Mongol Khaganate]] (Mongol Negara, Northern Yuan). Namun, [[Oirad]] s mulai menantang masyarakat Mongolic Timur di bawah [[Borjigin]] raja di akhir abad ke-14 dan Mongolia dibagi menjadi dua bagian: [[Western Mongolia]] ([[Oirats]]) dan [[Mongolia Timur]] ([[Khalkha]], [[Southern Mongol]], [[Barga Mongol | Barga]], [[Buryats]]).After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty in 1368 the Mongols established their independent state as [[Mongol Khaganate]] (Mongol State, Northern Yuan). However, the [[Oirad]]s began to challenge the Eastern Mongolic peoples under the [[Borjigin]] monarchs in the late 14th century and Mongolia was divided into two parts: [[Western Mongolia]] ([[Oirats]]) and [[Eastern Mongolia]] ([[Khalkha]], [[Southern Mongols]], [[Barga Mongols|Barga]], [[Buryats]]).

In 1434, Eastern Mongolian [[Taisun Khan|Taisun Khagan]]'s (1433–1452) prime minister Western Mongolian Togoon Taish reunited the Mongols after killing Eastern Mongolian another king Adai ([[Khorchin]]). Togoon died in 1439 and his son [[Esen Taish]] became prime minister.Esen carried out successful policy for Mongolian unification and independence. The Ming Empire attempted to invade Mongolia in the 14–16th centuries, however, the Ming Empire was defeated by the Oirat, Southern Mongol, Eastern Mongol and united Mongolian armies.Esen's 30,000 cavalries defeated 500,000 Chinese soldiers in [[Tumu Crisis|1449]]. Within eighteen months of his defeat of the titular Khan Taisun, in 1453, Esen himself took the title of [[Great Khan]] (1454–1455) of the [[Great Yuan]].<ref>Sechin Jagchid, Van Jay Symons – Peace, war, and trade along the Great Wall: Nomadic-Chinese interaction through two millennia, p.49</ref>

The Khalkha emerged during the reign of [[Dayan Khan|Dayan Khagan]] (1479–1543) as one of the six [[Tumen (unit)|tumen]]s of the Eastern Mongolic peoples. They quickly became the dominant Mongolic clan in Mongolia proper.<ref>[[Juha Janhunen|Janhunen, Juha]] ''The Mongolic languages'', p.177</ref><ref>Elizabeth E. Bacon ''Obok: A Study of Social Structure in Eurasia'', p.82</ref> He reunited the Mongols again.The Mongols voluntarly reunified during Eastern Mongolian [[Tümen Zasagt Khan|Tümen Zasagt Khagan]] rule (1558–1592) for last time and the Xiongnu and Mongol Empires united all Mongols before the Mongol Khaganate.

Eastern Mongolia was divided into three parts in the 17th century: Eastern Mongolia (Khalkha), [[Southern Mongolia]] ([[Southern Mongols]]), [[Northern Mongolia]] ([[Buryats]]).

The last Northern Yuan khagan was [[Ligden Khan|Ligden]] in the early 17th century. He got into conflicts with the [[Manchu people|Manchus]] over the looting of Chinese cities, and managed to alienate most Mongol tribes. In 1618, Ligden signed a treaty with the [[Ming Dynasty]] to protect their northern border from the Manchus attack in exchange for thousands of taels of silver.By the 1620s, only the [[Chahars]] remained under his rule.
The Chahar's army was defeated in 1625 and 1628 by the Southern Mongol and Manchu armies due to Ligden's faulty tactics. The Manchus secured their control over Southern Mongolia in 1632 and Ligden's army moved to battle against Tibetan [[Gelugpa]] sect (Yellow Hat sect) forces.The Gelugpa forces supported the Manchus, while Ligden supported [[Kagyu]] sect (Red Hat sect) of [[Tibetan Buddhism]]. Ligden Khagan died in 1634 on his way to [[Tibet]]. By 1636, most [[Southern Mongols|Southern Mongolian]] nobles had submitted to the Manchu-Qing Empire. Southern Mongolian Tengis [[noyan]] revolted against the Qing in the 1640s and the Khalkha battled to protect Sunud.

Western Mongolian Oirats and Eastern Mongolian Khalkhas vied for domination in Mongolia since the 15th century and this conflict weakened Mongolian strength. In 1688, Western Mongolian [[Zunghar Khanate]]'s king [[Galdan Boshugtu Khan|Galdan Boshugtu]] attacked Khalkha after murder of his younger brother by Tusheet Khan Chakhundorj (main or Central Khalkha leader) and the Khalkha-Oirat War began. Galdan threatened to kill Chakhundorj and [[Zanabazar]] (Javzandamba Khutagt I, spiritual head of Khalkha) but they escaped to Sunud (Southern Mongolia). Many Khalkha nobles and folks fled to Southern Mongolia because of the war.Few Khalkhas fled to Northern Mongolia and Russia threatened to exterminate them if they didn't submit, but many of them submitted to Galdan Boshugtu.

The Khalkha eventually submitted to Qing rule in [[Mongolia during the Qing rule|1691]] by [[Zanabazar]]'s decision, thus bringing all of today's Mongolia under the Manchu's rule but Khalkha [[de facto]] remained under the rule of Galdan Boshugtu Khaan until 1696. The Mongol-Oirat's Code (a treaty of alliance) against foreign invasion between the Oirats and Khalkhas was signed in 1640, however, the Mongols couldn't unite against foreign invasions. Chakhundorj fought against Russian invasion of Northern Mongolia until 1688 and stopped Russian invasion of [[Khövsgöl Province]]. Zanabazar struggled to bring together the Oirats and Khalkhas before the war.

Galdan Boshugtu sent his army to liberate Southern Mongolia after defeating the Khalkha's army and called Southern Mongolian nobles to fight for Mongolian independence. Some Southern Mongolian nobles, [[Tibetans]], [[Kumul Khanate]] and some [[Moghulistan]]'s nobles supported his war against the Manchu, however, Southern Mongolian nobles didn't battle against the Manchus.

There were three khans in Khalkha and Zasagt Khan Shar (Western Khalkha leader) was Galdan's ally.Tsetsen Khan (Eastern Khalkha leader) didn't engage in this conflict.While Galdan was fighting in Eastern Mongolia, his nephew [[Tseveenravdan]] seized the Dzungarian throne in 1689 and this event made Galdan impossible to fight against the Manchu Empire. The Russian and Manchu Empires supported his action because this coup weakened Western Mongolian strength.
Galdan Boshugtu's army was defeated by the outnumbering Manchu's army in 1696 and he died in 1697.The Mongols who fled to Northern and Southern Mongolia returned after the war.Some Khalkhas mixed with the Buryats.

The Buryats fought against Russian [[Russian conquest of Siberia|invasion]] since the [[Expansion of Russia 1500–1800|1620s]] and thousands of Buryats were massacred. Northern Mongolia were formally annexed to Russia by treaties in 1689 and 1727, when the territories on both the sides of [[Lake Baikal]] were separated from Mongolia. In 1689 the [[Treaty of Nerchinsk]] established the northern border of [[Manchuria]] north of the present line. The Russians retained [[Trans-Baikal]]ia between Lake Baikal and the [[Argun River (Asia)|Argun River]] north of Mongolia. The [[Treaty of Kyakhta (1727)|Treaty of Kyakhta]] (1727), along with the Treaty of Nerchinsk, regulated the relations between [[Imperial Russia]] and the Qing Empire until the mid nineteenth century. It established the [[Mongolia-Russia border|northern border]] of Mongolia. [[Oka River (Siberia)|Oka]] Buryats revolted in 1767 and Russia completely conquered Northern Mongolia in the late 18th century. Russia and Manchu were rival empires until the early 20th century, however, both empires carried out united policy against Central Asians.

Russia was concerned about their attack but the [[Kalmyks]] became Russian ally and a treaty to protect Southern Russian border was signed between the Kalmyk Khanate and Russia.In 1724 the Kalmyks came under control of [[Russia]].

The Mongols faced danger of complete extinction due to the [[Mongolia during the Qing rule|Manchu]] policy, for example, reduce the population, burn Mongol books, assimilate into other nations, change Mongol traditions, culture etc. 150,000 Southern Mongols were slaugthered by the [[Han Chinese]] during the [[Jindandao Incident]] in 1891.<ref name="IMPP">[[Inner Mongolian People's Party]]</ref> On 30 November 1911 the [[Mongolian Revolution of 1911|Mongolian National Liberation Revolution]] ended the Manchu's 220 years rule.Mongolian army liberated Eastern Mongolia (Khalkha) and Khovd region (modern [[Uvs Province|Uvs]], [[Khovd Province|Khovd]], [[Bayan-Ölgii Province|Bayan-Ölgii provinces]]) but Northern [[Xinjiang]] (Altai and Ili regions of the Qing Empire), [[Upper Mongolia]], [[Barga Mongols|Barga]] and Southern Mongolia came under control of the newly formed capitalist [[Republic of China]] (Taiwan). On February 2, 1913 the [[Mongolia (1911–21)|Bogd Khanate]] sent Mongolian cavalries to liberate [[Southern Mongolia]] from China.[[Russia]] refused to sell weapons to the Bogd Khanate and Russian king [[Nicholas II of Russia|Nicholas II]] called it as "Mongolian [[imperialism]]". The [[United Kingdom]] urged Russia to abolish Mongolian independence because it was concerned that "if Mongolians gain independence then [[Central Asia]]ns will revolt". [[:mn:Таван замын байлдаан|10,000]] Mongolian and Southern Mongolian cavalries (about 3,500 Southern Mongols) defeated 70,000 Chinese soldiers and liberated almost whole Southern Mongolia, however, Mongolian army retreated due to lack of weapon in 1914.400 Mongol soldiers and 3,795 Chinese soldiers died in this war. The Khalkhas, Khovd Oirats, Buryats, Dzungarian Oirats, [[Upper Mongols]], [[Barga Mongols]], almost all Southern Mongolian leaders and some Tuvan leaders supported [[Pan-Mongolism|Mongolian reunification]]. Russia enforced Mongolia to become an autonomous country of China in 1914. Mongolia lost [[Barga Mongols|Barga]], Dzungaria, [[Tuva]], [[Upper Mongolia]] and Southern Mongolia in [[Treaty of Kyakhta (1915)|1915]].

In October 1919, the Republic of China occupied Mongolia after suspicious deaths of Mongolian patriotic nobles. On 3 February 1921 [[White movement|White Russian]] [[Baron Ungern]]'s army (mainly Mongolian volunteer cavalries, Buryat and Tatar [[cossacks]]) liberated Mongolian [[Ulaanbaatar|capital]].Baron Ungern's purpose was to find allies to defeat [[Soviet Union]]. The [[Mongolian Revolution of 1921|Mongolian People's Revolution of 1921]] (Mongolian National Democratic Revolution) ended Chinese occupation over Mongolia then Mongolian and Soviet armies defeated White Russian army in Mongolia.The Statement of Reunification of Mongolia adobted by Mongolian [[People's Republic of Mongolia|revolutionist leaders]] in 1921. Soviet recognized that Mongolia is Chinese territory in 1924 during secret meeting with the Republic of China.Soviet officially recognized Mongolian independence in 1945 but Soviet carried out various policies (political, economic and cultural) against Mongolia until its fall or 1991 to prevent Pan-Mongolism and other [[List of active separatist movements in Asia#China (PRC)|irredentist]] [[List of active separatist movements in Europe#Russian Federation|movements]].

On 10 April 1932 Mongolians [[1932 armed uprising in Mongolia|revolted]] against the government's new policy and Soviet.The government and Soviet soldiers defeated rebels in October.

The Buryats started to migrate to Mongolia in the 1900s due to Russian oppression.[[Joseph Stalin]]'s regime stopped the migration in 1930 and started genocide action against newcomers and Mongolians. During the [[Stalinist repressions in Mongolia]] almost all adult Buryat men and 22–33,000 Mongols (3–5% of the total population; common citizens, monks, Pan-Mongolists, nationalists, patriots, hundreds military officers, nobles, intellectuals and elite people) shot dead by under pressure of Soviet.<ref>[http://www.olloo.mn/modules.php?name=News&file=print&sid=113303 Богд хааны жолооч хилс хэрэгт хэлмэгдсэн нь] '''(Mongolian)'''</ref>
<ref name="Death Tolls">[http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/warstat5.htm#Mong2 Twentieth Century Atlas – Death Tolls]</ref> Some authors also offer much higher estimates, up to 100,000 victims.<ref name="Death Tolls"/> Around the late 1930s the [[Mongolian People's Republic]] had an overall population of about 700,000 to 900,000 people.By 1939, Soviet said "We repressed too many people, the population of Mongolia is only hundred thousands". Proportion of victims in relation to the population of the country is much higher than the corresponding figures of the [[Great Purge]] in the Soviet Union.

The Manchu's [[Manchukuo]] state (1932–1945) invaded [[Barga Mongols|Barga]] and some part of Southern Mongolia with help of the [[Empire of Japan]] (1868–1947).The Mongolian army advanced to the [[Great Wall of China]] during the [[Soviet–Japanese War (1945)|Soviet–Japanese War of 1945]] (Mongolian name:Liberation War of 1945). Japan forced Southern Mongolian and Barga people to fight against Mongolians but they surrendered to Mongolians and started to fight against their Japanese and Manchu allies. Marshal [[Khorloogiin Choibalsan]] called Southern Mongolians and Xinjiang Oirats to migrate to Mongolia during the war but the [[Soviet Army]] blocked Southern Mongolian migrants way. It was a part of Pan-Mongolian plan and few Oirats and Southern Mongols ([[Huuchid]]s, Bargas, [[Tümed]]s, [[Üzemchin Mongols|about 800 Uzemchins]]) [[Demographics of Mongolia#Ethnic groups of Mongolia|arrived]]. Southern Mongolian leaders carried out active policy to merge Southern Mongolia with Mongolia since 1911. They founded the [[Inner Mongolian Army]] in 1929 but the Inner Mongolian Army disbanded after ending World War II. The Japanese Empire supported Pan-Mongolism since the 1910s but there have never been active relations between Mongolia and Imperial Japan due to Russian resistance. Southern Mongolian nominally independent [[Mengjiang]] state (1936–1945) was established with support of Japan in 1936 also some Buryat and Southern Mongol nobles founded Pan-Mongolist government with support of Japan in 1919.

[[File:Monumento ruso en Ulan Bator, Mongolia.jpg|thumb|World War II [[Zaisan Memorial]], Ulaan Baatar, from the [[People's Republic of Mongolia]] era.]]

The Southern Mongols established short-lived Republic of Inner Mongolia in 1945.

Another part of Choibalsan's plan was to merge Southern and Western Mongolia with Mongolia.
By 1945, Chinese communist leader [[Mao Zedong]] requested Soviet to stop Mongolian and Southern Mongolian reunification because China lost its control over Southern Mongolia and
without Southern Mongolian support the Communists were unable to defeat Japan and [[Kuomintang]] (Taiwan). Mao promised to merge Southern Mongolia with Mongolia after defeating Japan and [[Kuomintang]] but after ending [[Chinese Civil War]] [[Chinese Communist Party]]'s policy completely changed.

Mongolia and Soviet supported Xinjiang [[Uyghurs]] and [[Kazakhs]]' [[:Category:East Turkestan independence movement|separatist]] [[First East Turkestan Republic|movement]] in the 1930-1940s. By 1945, Soviet refused to support them after its alliance with the Communist Party of China and Mongolia interrupted its relations with the separatists under pressure of Soviet. Xinjiang Oirat's militant groups operated together the Turkic peoples but the Oirats didn't have leading role due to their small population. [[Basmachi movement|Basmachi]]s or Turkic and [[Tajiks|Tajik]] militants fought to liberate [[Central Asia]] ([[Soviet Central Asia]]) until 1942.

On February 2, 1913 the [[Treaty of friendship and alliance between the Government of Mongolia and Tibet]] was signed. Mongolian agents and Bogd Khan disrupted Soviet secret operations in [[Tibet (1912-51)|Tibet]] to change its regime in the 1920s.

On 27 October 1961 UN recognized Mongolian independence after ending Western boycotts.

== Language ==
{{Main|Mongolic languages}}
[[File:Gurvger.jpg|thumb|right|A Mongolic [[yurt|Ger]]]]
The specific origin of the Mongolic languages and associated tribes is unclear. On rare occasions researchers have proposed a link to the [[Tungusic languages|Tungusic]] and [[Turkic languages|Turkic]] language families, which are included alongside Mongolic in the proposed broader group of [[Altaic languages]], though this is highly controversial. Today the Mongoloian peoples speak at least one of several Mongolic languages including Mongolian, Buryat, Oirat, Dongxiang, Tu, Bonan, Hazaragi, and Aimaq as well as either Russian or Mandarin Chinese as inter-ethnic languages.

== Religion ==
{{Main|Buddhism in Mongolia|Shamanism in Mongolia}}
The original religion of the Mongolic peoples was [[Shamanism]]. The Xianbei came in contact with [[Confucianism]] and [[Daoism]] but eventually adopted [[Buddhism]].However, the Xianbeis in Mongolia and Rourans followed a Shamanism. In the 5th century the Buddhist monk Dharmapriya was proclaimed State Teacher of the Rouran Khaganate and given 3000 families and (some) Rouran nobles became Buddhists. In 511 the Rouran [[Douluofubadoufa Khan]] sent Hong Xuan to the Tuoba court with a pearl-encrusted statue of the Buddha as a gift. The Tuoba Xianbei and Khitans were mostly Buddhists, although they still retained their original Shamanism. The Tuoba had a "sacrificial castle" to the west of their capital where ceremonies to spirits took place. Wooden statues of the spirits were erected on top of this sacrificial castle. One ritual involved seven princes with milk offerings who ascended the stairs with 20 female shamans and offered prayers, sprinkling the statues with the sacred milk. The Khitan had their holiest shrine on Mount Muye where portraits of their earliest ancestor Qishou Khagan, his wife Kedun and eight sons were kept in two temples. Mongolic peoples were also exposed to [[Zoroastrianism]], [[Manicheism]], [[Nestorianism]], [[Orthodox Christianity]] and [[Islam]] from the west. The Mongolic peoples, in particular the Borjigin, had their holiest shrine on [[Burkhan Khaldun|Mount Burkhan Khaldun]] where their ancestor Börte Chono(Blue Wolf) and Goo Maral (Beautiful Doe) had given birth to them. [[Genghis Khan]] usually fasted, prayed and meditated on this mountain before his campaigns. As a young man he had thanked the mountain for saving his life and prayed at the foot of the mountain sprinkling offerings and bowing nine times to the east with his belt around his neck and his hat held at his chest. Genghis Khan kept a close watch on the Mongolic supreme shaman Kokochu Teb who sometimes conflicted with his authority. Later the imperial cult of Genghis Khan (centered on the [[Mausoleum of Genghis Khan|eight white gers]] and nine white banners in [[Ordos]]) grew into a highly organized indigenous religion with scriptures in the [[Mongolian script]]. Indigenous moral precepts of the Mongolic peoples were enshrined in oral wisdom sayings (now collected in several volumes), the anda (blood-brother) system and ancient texts such as the ''Chinggis-un Bilig'' (Wisdom of Genghis) and ''Oyun Tulkhuur'' (Key of Intelligence). These moral precepts were expressed in poetic form and mainly involved truthfulness, fidelity, help in hardship, unity, self-control, fortitude, veneration of nature, veneration of the state and veneration of parents.

[[File:Tamerlan.jpg|thumb|[[Timur]] of Mongolic origin himself had converted almost all the [[Borjigin]] leaders to [[Islam]].]]
[[File:Babur and Humayun.jpg|thumb|The [[Mughal Emperor]] [[Babur]] and his heir [[Humayun]], The word ''Mughal'', is derived from the Persian word for Mongol.]]

In 1254 [[Möngke Khan]] organized a formal religious debate (in which [[William of Rubruck]] took part) between Christians, Muslims and Buddhists in [[Karakorum]], a cosmopolitan city of many religions. The Mongolic Empire was known for its religious tolerance, but had a special leaning towards Buddhism and was sympathetic towards Christianity while still worshipping [[Tengri]]. The Mongolic leader [[Abaqa Khan]] sent a delegation of 13–16 to the [[Second Council of Lyon]] (1274), which created a great stir, particularly when their leader 'Zaganus' underwent a public baptism. [[Yahballaha III]] (1245–1317) and [[Rabban Bar Sauma]] (c. 1220–1294) were famous Mongolic Nestorian Christians. The [[Khereid|Kerait]] tribe in central Mongolia was Christian and Shamanistic.The western Khanates, however, eventually adopted Islam (under [[Berke]] and [[Ghazan]]) and the Turkic languages (because of its commercial importance), although allegiance to the Great Khan and limited use of the Mongolic languages can be seen even in 1330's. The Mongolic nobility during the [[Yuan dynasty]] studied Confucianism, built Confucian temples (including [[Beijing Confucius Temple]]) and translated Confucian works into Mongolic but mainly followed the [[Sakya]] school of Tibetan Buddhism under [[Drogön Chögyal Phagpa|Phags-pa Lama]]. The general populace still practised [[Shamanism]]. [[Dongxiang people|Dongxiang]] and [[Bonan people|Bonan Mongols]] adopted Islam, as did [[Moghol language|Moghol]]-speaking peoples in Afghanistan. In the 1576 the [[Gelug]] school of Tibetan Buddhism became the state religion of the Mongolia. The Red Hat sect of Tibetan Buddhism coexisted with the Gelug Yellow Hat sect. Shamanism was absorbed into the [[Buddhism in Mongolia|state religion]] while being marginalized in its purer forms, later only surviving in far northern Mongolia. Monks were some of the leading intellectuals in Mongolia, responsible for much of the literature and art of the pre-modern period. Many Buddhist philosophical works lost in Tibet and elsewhere are preserved in older and purer form in Mongolian ancient texts (e.g. the Mongol [[Kangyur|Kanjur]]). [[Zanabazar]] (1635–1723), [[Zaya Pandita]] (1599–1662) and [[Danzanravjaa]] (1803–1856) are among the most famous Mongol holy men. The 4th Dalai Lama [[Yonten Gyatso]] (1589–1617), a Mongol himself, was the only non-Tibetan [[Dalai Lama]].The name is a combination of the Mongolian word dalai meaning "ocean" and the Tibetan word (bla-ma) meaning "guru, teacher, mentor".[1] Many Buryats became Orthodox Christians due to the Russian expansion. During the socialist period religion was officially banned, although it was practiced in clandestine circles. Today, a sizable proportion of Mongolic peoples are [[atheism|atheist]] or [[agnosticism|agnostic]]. In the most recent census in Mongolia, almost forty percent of the population reported as being atheist, while the majority religion was Tibetan Buddhism, with 53%.<ref>[http://www.toollogo2010.mn/doc/Main%20results_20110615_to%20EZBH_for%20print.pdf National Census 2010 Preliminary results] '''(Mongolian)'''</ref> Having survived suppression by the Communists, Buddhism among the Eastern, Northern, Southern and Western Mongols is today primarily of the [[Gelugpa]] (Yellow Hat sect) school of [[Tibetan Buddhism]]. There is a strong shamanistic influence in the Gelugpa sect among the Mongols.

They battled against the most powerful armies and warriors in Eurasia.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} The beating of the kettle and smoke signals were signs for the start of battle. One battle formation that they used consisted of five squadrons or units. The typical squadrons were divided by ranks. The first two ranks were in the front. These warriors had the heaviest armor and weapons. The back three ranks broke out between the front ranks and attacked first with their arrows.<ref>Per Inge Oestmoen.

== Kinship and family life ==
{{See also|Society of the Mongol Empire}}
The traditional Mongol family was patriarchal, patrilineal and patrilocal. Wives were brought for each of the sons, while daughters were married off to other clans. Wife-taking clans stood in a relation of inferiority to wife-giving clans. Thus wife-giving clans were considered "elder" or "bigger" in relation to wife-taking clans, who were considered "younger" or "smaller".<ref>Vreeland 1962:160</ref><ref>Aberle 1953:23–24</ref> This distinction, symbolized in terms of "elder" and "younger" or "bigger" and "smaller", was carried into the clan and family as well, and all members of a lineage were terminologically distinguished by generation and age, with senior superior to junior.

In the traditional Mongolian family, each son received a part of the family herd as he married, with the elder son receiving more than the younger son. The youngest son would remain in the parental tent caring for his parents, and after their death he would inherit the parental tent in addition to his own part of the herd. This inheritance system was mandated by law codes such as the [[Yassa]], created by [[Genghis Khan]].<ref>[http://www.mypolice.ca/research_and_publications/MongolianLawCodeYasa.htm THE INFLUENCE OF THE GREAT CODE “YASA” ON THE MONGOLIAN EMPIRE]</ref> Likewise, each son inherited a part of the family's camping lands and pastures, with the elder son receiving more than the younger son. The eldest son inherited the farthest camping lands and pastures, and each son in turn inherited camping lands and pastures closer to the family tent until the youngest son inherited the camping lands and pastures immediately surrounding the family tent. Family units would often remain near each other and in close cooperation, though extended families would inevitably break up after a few generations. It is probable that the Yasa simply put into written law the principles of customary law.
{{quotation|It is apparent that in many cases, for example in family instructions, the yasa tacitly accepted the principles of customary law and avoided any interference with them. For example, Riasanovsky said that killing the man or the woman in case of adultery is a good illustration. Yasa permitted the institutions of polygamy and concubinage so characteristic of southerly nomadic peoples. Children born of concubines were legitimate. Seniority of children derived their status from their mother. Eldest son received more than the youngest after the death of father. But the latter inherited the household of the father. Children of concubines also received a share in the inheritance, in accordance with the instructions of their father (or with custom.)|Nilgün Dalkesen|Gender roles and women's status in Central Asia and Anatolia between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries<ref>http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12608663/index.pdf</ref>}}

After the family, the next largest social units were the subclan and clan. These units were derived from groups claiming patrilineal descent from a common ancestor, ranked in order of seniority (the "conical clan"). By the [[Chingissid]] era this ranking was symbolically expressed at formal feasts, in which tribal chieftains were seated and received particular portions of the slaughtered animal according to their status.<ref>[http://books.google.es/books?id=qcSsoJ0IXawC&pg=PA77&lpg=PA77&dq=%22Mongols%22+%22seniority%22+%22conical+clan%22&source=bl&ots=izJzxLqDVa&sig=2qSIYF2HIqY64F_EVm1LhYZMSeI&hl=es&sa=X&ei=4qGoUYz1M63H7AbD9YC4Aw&ved=0CDoQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=%22Mongols%22%20%22seniority%22%20%22conical%20clan%22&f=false Agricultural and pastoral societies in ancient and classical history edited by Adas]</ref> The lineage structure of [[Central Asia]] had three different modes. It was organized on the basis of genealogical distance, or the proximity of individuals to one another on a graph of kinship; generational distance, or the rank of generation in relation to a common ancestor, and birth order, the rank of brothers in relation to each another.<ref>Cuisenier (1975:67)</ref> The paternal descent lines were collaterally ranked according to the birth of their founders, and were thus considered senior and junior to each other. Of the various collateral patrilines, the senior in order of descent from the founding ancestor, the line of eldest sons, was the most noble. In the steppe, no one had his exact equal; everyone found his place in a system of collaterally ranked lines of descent from a common ancestor.<ref>Krader (1963:322, 269)</ref> It was according to this idiom of superiority and inferiority of lineages derived from birth order that legal claims to superior rank were couched.<ref>Kinship Structure and Political Authority: The Middle East and Central Asia Charles Lindholm Comparative Studies in Society and History Vol. 28, No. 2 (Apr., 1986), pp. 334-355 Published by: Cambridge University Press Article Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/178975, Charles Lindholm</ref>

The Mongol kinship is one of a particular patrilineal type classed as [[Omaha kinship|Omaha]], in which relatives are grouped together under separate terms that crosscut generations, age, and even sexual difference. Thus, a man's father's sister's children, his sister's children, and his daughter's children are all called by another term. A further attribute is strict terminological differentiation of siblings according to seniority.

The division of Mongolian society into senior elite lineages and subordinate junior lineages was waning by the twentieth century. During the 1920s the [[Communist]] regime was established. The remnants of the Mongolian aristocracy fought alongside the [[Japan]]ese and against [[China|Chinese]], [[Soviets]] and Communist Mongols during [[World War II]], but were defeated.

The anthropologist Herbert Harold Vreeland visited three Mongol communities in 1920 and published a highly detailed book with the results of his field work, "Mongol community and kinship structure", now publicly available.<ref>[http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015008324819;view=1up;seq=1 Mongol community and kinship structure.

{{See also|Demographics of Mongolia}}
In modern-day Mongolia, Mongolic ethnic groups make up approximately 97% of the population, with the largest ethnic group being Mongols, followed by Buryats, both belonging to the Eastern Mongolic peoples. They are followed by Oyrats, who belong to Western Mongolic peoples.

Mongolian ethnic groups:
[[Baarins|Baarin]], [[Baatud]], [[Barga Mongols|Barga]], [[Bayad]], [[Buryats|Buryat]],
[[Chahar Mongols|Selenge Chahar]], [[Chantuu]], [[Darkhad]], [[Dariganga]]

=== China ===
{{Main|Ethnic Mongols in China}}

The 2010 census of [[People's Republic of China]] counted 7.06 million various Mongol groups, according to the narrow definition above. It should be noted that 1992 census of China counted only 3.6 million Mongols.And 2010 census of counted 5,982 thousand Mongols, and 621,500 Dongxiangs, 289,565 Mongours, 132,000 Daurs, 20,074 Baoans, 14,370 Yugurs. {{citation needed|date=December 2010}} Most of them live in the [[Inner Mongolia]] autonomous region, followed by [[Liaoning]] province. Small numbers can also be found in provinces near those two.

There were 669,972 Mongols in Liaoning in 2011, making up 11.52% of Mongols in China.<ref>"Tianya" network: [http://bbs.tianya.cn/post-259-10066-1.shtml General situation of Mongols in Liaoning] (in Chinese)</ref> The closest Mongol area to the sea is the Dabao Mongol Ethnic Township (大堡蒙古族镇) in [[Fengcheng, Liaoning|Fengcheng]], Liaoning.

Another contender for closest Mongol area to the sea would be Erdaowanzi Mongol Ethnic Township (二道湾子蒙古族乡) in [[Jianchang County|Jianchang]], Liaoning. With 5,011 Mongols (20.7% of the township population)<ref>"Baidu" network: [http://baike.baidu.com/view/548716.htm Erdaowanzi Mongol Ethnic Township] (in Chinese)</ref> it is located around 65&nbsp;km from the [[Bohai Sea]].

Other peoples speaking Mongolic languages are the [[Daur people|Daur]], [[Sogwo Arig]], [[Monguor]], [[Dongxiang people|Dongxiang]], [[Bonans|Bonan]], [[Sichuan Mongols]] and eastern part of the [[Yugur]]. Those do not officially count as part of the Mongol ethnicity, but are recognized as ethnic groups of their own. The Mongols lost their contact with the Mongours, Bonan, Dongxiangs, Yunnan Mongols since the fall of the [[Yuan Dynasty]]. Mongolian scientists and journalists met with the Dongxiangs and Yunnan Mongols in the 2000s.
