Nikolai Robert Maximilian Ungern-Sternberg (10 January 1886 – 15 September 1921), also known as Roman Ungern-Sternberg, was a German aristocrat and counterrevolutionary general in Russia and Mongolia during the Russian Civil War.
Russian Civil War
Ungern's forces fled into Manchuria and Mongolia after the Red Army defeated them in Siberia.[1]:283
Invasion of Mongolia
Ungern invaded Mongolia in October 1920, gaining the support of the Mongolian nobility against China, and created a pro-Japanese provisional government led by the nobles Luvsantseven and Zhamyan. He then allied with the Bogd Khan and defeated the Zhili clique in February 1921. He ruthlessly exploited the Mongolian peasants but did not take from the nobility. Ungern executed the Minister for the Western Province and removed the War Minister from office.[1]:283–5
