History
People's Revolution
Mongolia was part of the Qing Dynasty until it collapsed in 1911. In 1921, the Mongolian People's Revolution occurred and the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party took power but kept the monarch Bogd Khan as the ceremonial head of state. Sükhbaatar died of natural causes before the People's Republic was established.[1]
People's Republic
The People's Republic was proclaimed on November 26, 1924. Khorloogiin Choibalsan was the leader of the military and premier until his death in 1952. He was replaced by Yumjaagiin Tsedenbal, who was general secretary until 1984.
Counterrevolution
In 1990, a color revolution occurred and bourgeois parties were allowed to compete in elections. The Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party still won but eventually became a social democratic party by 1991.[2] The current constitution of Mongolia was adopted in 1992.
