Mongolia In the 1930s, Godach

The counter-revolutionary coup of Chiang Kai-shek and the defeat of the Chinese revolution intensified the aggressive machinations of the reactionary Kuomintang against the MPR. Nevertheless, in February 1929 the Mongolian government again declared its readiness to establish peaceful relations with China on the basis of mutual recognition of independence.

However, the Chiang Kai-shek government refused to recognize the existence of an independent Mongolian state and continued to consider the MPR to be part of Chinese territory.

In these difficult times, Mongolian workers were together with the Chinese revolutionary forces when they heroically repulsed the Kuomintang troops' campaigns against the Soviet regions of China, and during the great northwestern campaign of the Chinese Red Army, and in the struggle against Japanese aggression.

Along with the Chinese militarists, the Japanese imperialism continued to remain a dangerous enemy of the Mongolian people, carrying ample aggressive plans in the Far East, which were set out in 1927 in the so-called Tanaka memorandum. General Araki stated that "Japan can not tolerate the existence of such an ambiguous territory as Mongolia". Having occupied Northeast China in 1931 and having reached the borders of the Mongolian People's Republic, the Japanese military began to actively prepare for the seizure of Mongolia.

In the conditions of the tense international situation on March 12, 1936, the Protocol on Mutual Assistance was signed between the USSR and the MPR, and when in 1939 the Japanese military made an armed attack on the Mongolian People's Republic Khalkhin-Gol, Soviet troops entered into the Mongolian People's Republic in accordance with the Protocol on Mutual Assistance and at the request of the government of the MPR, stood up for the protection of the Mongolian people. In the four-month battles, Soviet-Mongolian troops defeated the Japanese army. Mongolia in the 1930s ...

The history of Japanese aggression on the eve and during the Second World War shows that in Asia there was no country that, being attacked by Japan, would not have been fully or partially occupied by Japanese imperialism. And only the MPR continued to exist as an independent sovereign state. The historical victory of the Soviet and Mongolian peoples at Khalkhin-Gol had a significant impact on the international situation, especially in the Far East, and contributed to the activation of the national liberation anti-Japanese struggle of the Chinese, Korean and other peoples of Asia.
