Ungern-Sturnberg was honestly a crazy guy. He was called the "God of War" by the local mongol population. That alone should give you the answer of his craziness.
Fun Fact : In 1936 Inner Mongolia was it's own separate puppet state of Japan called Mengjiang, Mengjiang attempted to invade China that same year in what was called the " Suiyuan Campaign " where Mengjiang was defeated. During WW2 Mengjiang declared war on the Allied Powers with an Army of only 20,000 troops, about 5 to 6 Tanks, and about 7 homemade Armored Cars and only 7 Warplanes, Later in 1945 the USSR invaded Mengjiang and gave it to China after WW2.
Mengjiang was only a part of what is now Inner Mongolia. The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region was established in 1947 in Ulanhot City, and two years later, in 1949, the People's Republic of China was founded.
"he was born with a beard" that's general aldeen a mongo baby were born with horses (plural due to spares) And, I don't want no more questions regarding mongol Mamas giving the birth.
What is also interesting is to this day, there are still more ethnic Mongolians in Inner Mongolia than the entire country of Mongolia (and Mongolia is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world).
And according to the other comments, if they integrated Inner Mongolia, the Han Chinese would be the majority instead of the Mongols themselves, that's how small they're
3:02 During his short reign, Roman managed to fully destroy Jewish diaspora in Mongolia (yes, Jews were even in Mongolia). His rule was also so bloody and violent, mongols decided to turn to Lenin and communists just to get rid of him. Some people even say that Sturnberg’s biggest accomplishment was to turn Mongolia red better than anyone else.
Did the math, if Inner Mongolia was integrated into Mongolia today, it'd be 65-70% Han Chinese, making the Mongols a minority in their own country lol.
aah, colonization at it's finest. Just what they are doing to Tibet today. Seize it, get your people to move there then say look, it's mostly our people anyway.
Yes. Modern-day Mongolia is very thin populated. Its population is around 3.3 million people. This is less than the half of population of each New York and London and around the same as of Berlin.
The Chinese census lumps a lot of ethnic groups under Han even if they aren't actually. I think they would still outnumber the Mongols, just not so drastically.
One of the quirkier oddities of inner Mongolia is that it's a rare case where the sinicized language standards are actually more preserved than the standards in the outside state in question. Inner Mongolia mongolians use mongolian script, while republic of mongolians had been using Cyrillic until recently via their links to the soviets, who just seemed really really interested in spreading that around as much as they could get away with for some reason. Like seriously, they even made the moldovans do it when it was for Romanian, a language spoken by other communists right across the border that had been using the latin script for centuries without issue.
@@QWERTY-gp8fd Are you referring to literacy rates in Cyrillic Mongolian, traditional Mongolian script, Chinese characters, or English? If it's traditional Mongolian script, the literacy rate in Inner Mongolia is likely close to 100%. I'm curious how you determined that Inner Mongolia's literacy rate is 3% lower than Mongolia's-could you clarify?
3:31 Fun fact: While the PRC recognized their independence after winning the civil war, the ROC did not. This means that despite Taiwan's significantly small size, it not only claimed ownership to the the entirety of China, but with Mongolia included until 2002. That's hysterical!

But other parts of the government said "Mongolia is part of China and there is One China" (Taiwan has a One China policy too) and official maps included all of Mongolia as part of China. They legislated it in 2002, but prior to that Mongolian Citizens couldn't get visas to Taiwan, they had to apply for entry permits.

As someone who’s ethnically Chinese, I find so amusing how: 1) Inner Mongolia has more Mongols than the country of Mongolia 2) The Han Chinese population of Inner Mongolia is large enough to wear if Inner Mongolia joined Mongolia, Han Chinese would be the majority within the country. Yeah the Qing Dynasty really pulled a legendary troll job on the Mongols by settling Inner Mongolia with Han Chinese
@@megakedarDefinitely true. Though it’s interesting how the region has a higher % of Han Chinese than the other 4 autonomous regions which also were historically part of the Chinese World (albeit maybe to a lesser extent such as the case for Tibet)
@@megakedar "always part of the Chinese world" is a politically tainted statement. Baotou and almost the entirety of Inner Mongolia lie beyond the Great Walls of China and urbanisation and Han settlement are a phenomenon of the more recent centuries. Notwithstanding, the Chinese core areas have indeed always been the centre of civilization in this region and in times of a strong central state this area could be seen as a periphery, or in the contemporary Chinese view a "frontier" region. Yet for most of its history it was ethnically, culturally, and even politically distinct from China proper and, as the video implies, not integrated into the Chinese state and bureaucracy, even when ruled by vassals or the other way round when Northern China was subjugated by steppe people.
Fun fact: because of this separation, Mongolian now has two different writing systems. Inner Mongolia has kept the traditional vertical Mongolian script, while independent Mongolia has all but replaced it with the Cyrillic alphabet due to Russian influence.
Not necessarily. The Yuan Dynasty continued after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, but only as a rump state in Mongolia. The so-called Northern Yuan lasted until the Jurchens conquered them in the 1600s, as this video says.
@@CarpeVerpanorthern Yuan was not unified under one khanate after Yesuder killed the last Yuan emperor and Mongolia was under fragmentation. Mongolian tribes which were living in the south of Goni desert even became vassals of Ming empire.
I took a course on Modern China in my last semester of college and according to my professor, it is a minor goal of the PRC to bring Mongolia back into China, as part of the wider claims of all territories of the Qing Dynasty at its height.
Back then there weren’t lines to really permanently demarcate boundaries of nations or even the concept of nationhood as we know it now. Heck, a good part of China was in what we know now as Inner Mongolia, they even have a great wall there which they built in their earlier period(something around 700bc) with the Ming dynasty being the last to add a section.
It happened with all the nomadic people that tried to conquer China. They became settled people and were assimilated, just like the Xianbei or the Manchu.
King James Bisonette has issued a royal decree forbidding any unnecessary speech about him and so we, as his loyal subjects, have agreed not to comment about our gracious monarch.
It's great to have discussions. This year, Mongolia officially began restoring the traditional Mongolian script, an important step in preserving their heritage. The Mongolian people, after many hardships, need continued development to ensure their future. Inner Mongolia is often misunderstood or overlooked. I encourage everyone to visit Inner Mongolia or Mongolia to better understand these regions. I’ll share related content with you gradually.
It hurts my soul to see you ignoring Tuva on your maps. For most of the time, it was a regular part of Outer Mongolia I wish you also covered the WW2 part. Mengjiang and then Mongols hoping to conquer and annex it. But they didn't get it because Chiang Kai-Shek was too powerful and Stalin agreed to hand Inner Mongolia over to him
However, Inner Mongolia wasn't fully controlled by the Republic of China at the time. Instead, it was a region marked by conflicts among various warlords. Later, puppet states like Manchukuo and Mengjiang were established under Japanese influence. Afterward, the revolutionary movements reshaped the region, leading to its current status as part of the People's Republic of China.
@@koshinippo6351 True. Although, some Inner Mongols also supported Kuomintang against communists. If I'm not wrong, the ruler of Mengjiang Demchugdongrub became a ruler of a RoC autonomous region in Outer Mongolia

@@Redraptor0001 True, but if we'd been fully involved, we'd have almost certainly imposed the usual playbook, divide the place into east and west and then bugger off.
Funnily enough, there's like a million more Mongols living in Inner Mongolia than in Mongolia itself, but they're still a minority there, since there're also 20 millions of Han Chinese.
can you do a video on why China didn't keep the emperor during the republic time? I understand why the communists don't have that but why don't we see a figure head monarchs in ROC/Taiwan like what goes on in Europe?
We had no interest in maintaining a Manchu figurehead in a democratic republic, just like how America and Mexico had no interest in maintaining British and Spanish figureheads. In fact, Mexico has already shot two emperors 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i mean wasnt the whole point of the Xinhai revolution was to abolish monarchy. and Yuan Shikai did portrayed himself as the new chinese emperor but that didnt last long.
Puyi stayed at the forbidden city and treated as an emperor until he and a warlord called zhang xun launched a restoration in 1917 when china was in political mess about dissolving the parliament. After the farce, he was kicked out from the forbidden city and puyi fled to the Japanese embassy.
It is worth talking about that Roman von Sternberg is one of the funnier insane anecdotes of history, and is worth looking up for what a memetically insane man he was.

Can you make an episode about Ungern-Sternberg? The man was indeed a lunatic!
Funnily enough, there's like a million more Mongols living in Inner Mongolia than in Mongolia itself, but they're still a minority there, since there're also 20 millions of Han Chinese.
The Mongols had a good run, but unless there are space horses, I think their conquering days are finished.
Good video.
After all these years I'm still waiting for the 2-3 sec joke/punch line in the end of videos.
For more on Kublai Kahn, play the game Ghost pf Tsushima. Games can be educational!
Does anyone wonder what happened to Kelly Moneymaker?
"This man was, to be blunt, a complete lunatic" 🤣🤣🤣
Mongolians: “The Manchus have freed us!”
Manchus: “Oh I wouldn't say freed, more like ‘under new management’!”
You know it's going to be a real clusterf$#% when the video is over 4 minutes long.
Video suggestion: what if James Bisonette withdrew his patreon subscription?
It’s crazy how so much of history hinges on the outlandish desires of well placed people
I've been waiting for this video 😂
two interesting question: Why Didn’t Hitler Escape to Argentina?
Why and How did the Communists Took over mainland China?
That gunshot sound weirdly felt more violent than those of action movies.
Well that escalated quickly.
i always like watching these videos
When you’re in, you’re in
You should really make a video about Sternberg. He was so insanely funny.
Fun fact: Inner Mongolia has more ethnic Mongolians living in it than Mongolia itself
can you do a video on why China didn't keep the emperor during the republic time? I understand why the communists don't have that but why don't we see a figure head monarchs in ROC/Taiwan like what goes on in Europe?
We had no interest in maintaining a Manchu figurehead in a democratic republic, just like how America and Mexico had no interest in maintaining British and Spanish figureheads.
In fact, Mexico has already shot two emperors 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i mean wasnt the whole point of the Xinhai revolution was to abolish monarchy. and Yuan Shikai did portrayed himself as the new chinese emperor but that didnt last long.
Puyi stayed at the forbidden city and treated as an emperor until he and a warlord called zhang xun launched a restoration in 1917 when china was in political mess about dissolving the parliament. After the farce, he was kicked out from the forbidden city and puyi fled to the Japanese embassy.
Good video idea: Why do the Philippines and Malaysia dispute Sabah?
Sternberg can best be described as “Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs”.
