The vast Xiongnu empire (209 BC-93 AD) was followed by the Mongolic [[Xianbei state|Xianbei empire]] (93–234) which also ruled more than the entirety of present-day Mongolia. The Mongolic [[Rouran]] Khaganate (330–555), of [[Xianbei]] provenance, ruled a massive empire before being defeated by the [[Göktürks]] (555–745) whose empire was even bigger (laid siege to [[Panticapaeum]], present-day [[Kerch]], in 576). They were succeeded by the [[Uyghur Khaganate]] (745–840) who were defeated by the Kyrgyz. The Mongolic [[Khitan people|Khitans]], also descendants of the Xianbei, ruled Mongolia during the [[Liao Dynasty]] (907–1125) after which the [[Khamag Mongol]] (1125–1206) rose to prominence.

[[Fileឯកសារ:Mongols-map.png|thumb|right|alt=Map of Asia|This map shows the boundary of 13th century [[Mongol Empire]] compared to today's [[Mongols]].]]
In the chaos of the late 12th century, a chieftain named Temüjin finally succeeded in uniting the Mongol tribes (belonging to the [[Shiwei]] branch of the Mongolic [[Xianbei]]) between [[Manchuria]] and the [[Altai Mountains]]. In 1206, he took the title [[Genghis Khan#Name and title|Genghis Khan]], and waged a series of military campaigns – renowned for their brutality and ferocity – sweeping through much of [[Asia]], and forming the [[Mongol Empire]], the largest contiguous land [[empire]] in world history. Under his successors it stretched from present-day [[Poland]] in the west to [[Korea]] in the east, and from [[Siberia]] in the north to the [[Gulf of Oman]] and [[Vietnam]] in the south, covering some {{convert|33000000|km2}},<ref name="EarthRule">http://www.hostkingdom.net/earthrul.html</ref> (22% of Earth's total land area) and having a population of over 100 million people. The emergence of [[Pax Mongolica]] also significantly eased [[trade]] and [[commerce]] across [[Asia]] during its height.<ref>Gregory G.Guzman – Were the barbarians a negative or positive factor in ancient and medieval history?, The historian 50 (1988), pp.568–70</ref><ref>Thomas T.Allsen – Culture and conquest in Mongol Eurasia, p.211</ref>
 
After Genghis Khan's death, the empire was subdivided into four kingdoms or [[Khanate]]s which eventually became quasi-independent after [[Möngke Khan|Möngke]]'s death in 1259. One of the khanates, the "Great Khaanate", consisting of the Mongol homeland and [[History of China|China]], became the [[Yuan Dynasty]] under [[Kublai Khan]], the grandson of Genghis Khan. He set up his capital in present day [[Beijing]] but after more than a century of power, the Yuan was replaced by the [[Ming Dynasty]] in 1368, with the Mongol court fleeing to the north. As the Ming armies pursued the Mongols into their homeland, they successfully sacked and destroyed the Mongol capital [[Karakorum]] among a few other cities, although some of these attempts were repelled by the Mongols under [[Biligtü Khan Ayushiridara|Ayushridar]] and his general [[Köke Temür]].
 
[[Fileឯកសារ:Altan Khan.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Altan Khan]] (1507-1582) founded the city of [[Hohhot]], helped introduce Buddhism and originated the title of [[Dalai Lama]]]]
[[Fileឯកសារ:Tsogtiin_tsagaan_baishin.JPG|thumb|left|Castle built in northern Mongolia by [[Tsogt Taij]] in 1601.]]
After the expulsion of the [[Yuan Dynasty]] rulers from China, the Mongols continued to rule Mongolia, also referred to as the [[Northern Yuan]]. The next centuries were marked by violent power struggles among various factions, notably the Genghisids and the non-Genghisid [[Oirats|Oirads]], as well as by several Chinese invasions (like the five expeditions led by the [[Yongle Emperor]]). In the early 15th century, the Oirads under [[Esen Tayisi]] gained the upper hand, and even raided China in 1449 in a [[Tumu Crisis|conflict]] over Esen's right to pay tribute, capturing the Ming [[Zhengtong Emperor|emperor]] in the process. However, Esen was murdered in 1454, and the [[Borjigid]]s recovered.
 
[[Batumöngke Dayan Khan]] and his [[khatun]] [[Mandukhai]] reunited the entire Mongol nation under the Genghisids in the early 16th century. In the mid-16th century, [[Altan Khan]] of the Tümed, a grandson of [[Dayan Khan]] – but no legitimate Khan himself – became powerful. He founded [[Hohhot]] in 1557 and his meeting with the [[Dalai Lama]] in 1578 sparked the second introduction of [[Tibetan Buddhism]] to Mongolia. Abtai Khan of the [[Khalkha]] converted to Buddhism and founded the [[Erdene Zuu]] monastery in 1585. His grandson [[Zanabazar]] became the first [[Jebtsundamba Khutughtu]] in 1640.

The last Mongol Khan was [[Ligden Khan]] in the early 17th century. He got into conflicts with the [[Manchu people|ManchuManchus]]s over the looting of Chinese cities, and managed to alienate most Mongol tribes. He died in 1634 on his way to [[Tibet]], in an attempt to evade the Manchus and destroy the [[Gelugpa|Yellow Hat sect of Buddhism]]. By 1636, most [[Inner Mongolia]]n tribes had submitted to the [[Manchu people|ManchuManchus]]s, who founded the [[Qing Dynasty]]. The [[Khalkha]] eventually submitted to Qing rule in 1691, thus bringing all of today's Mongolia under [[Beijing]]'s rule. After several wars, the [[Dzungars]] (the western Mongols or Oirats) were virtually annihilated during the Qing conquest of Dzungaria in 1757–58.<ref>[http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/313790/Kazakhstan/214566/History#ref=ref598970 Kazakhstan to c. 1700 ce].

The [[Jebtsundamba Khutuktu]] of Mongolia had immense ''de-facto'' authority. The Manchus also forbade mass Chinese immigration, allowing the Mongols to keep their culture.
 
Until 1911, the Qing Dynasty maintained control of Mongolia with a series of alliances and intermarriages, as well as military and economic measures. [[Amban]]s, Manchu "high officials", were installed in [[Ulaanbaatar|Khüree]], [[Uliastai]], and [[Khovd (city)|Khovd]], and the country was subdivided into ever more feudal and ecclesiastical fiefdoms. Over the course of the 19th century, the feudal lords attached more importance to representation and less importance to the responsibilities towards their subjects. The behaviour of Mongolia's nobility, together with the [[usury|usurious]] practices of the Chinese traders and the collection of imperial taxes in silver instead of animals, resulted in poverty becoming ever more rampant.

With the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Mongolia under the [[Bogd Khaan]] declared independence in 1911. However, the newly established [[Republic of China]] considered Mongolia to be part of its own territory. The area controlled by the Bogd Khaan was approximately that of the former [[Outer Mongolia]] during the Qing period. In 1919, after the [[October Revolution]] in Russia, Chinese troops led by [[Xu Shuzheng]] occupied Mongolia.

In 1928, [[Khorloogiin Choibalsan]] rose to power. He instituted [[collectivisation]] of livestock, the destruction of [[Tibetan Buddhism|Buddhist]] [[monastery|monasteries]] and the [[Mongolia's enemies of the people persecution]] resulting in the murder of [[monk]]s and other people. In Mongolia during the 1920s, approximately one third of the male population were monks. By the beginning of the 20th century, about 750 monasteries were functioning in Mongolia.<ref>[http://www.orientmag.com/8-30.htm Mongolia: The Bhudda and the Khan].

Japanese imperialism became even more alarming after the [[Japanese invasion of Manchuria|invasion of neighboring Manchuria]] in 1931. During the [[Battle of Khalkhin Gol|Soviet-Japanese Border War]] of 1939, the Soviet Union successfully defended Mongolia against [[Japan]]ese expansionism.

It mostly lies between latitudes [[41st parallel north|41°]] and [[52nd parallel north|52°N]] (a small area is north of 52°), and longitudes [[87th meridian east|87°]] and [[120th meridian east|120°E]].

The geography of Mongolia is varied, with the [[Gobi Desert]] to the south and with cold and mountainous regions to the north and west. Much of Mongolia consists of [[steppe]]s. The highest point in Mongolia is the [[Khüiten Peak]] in the [[Tavan bogd]] massif in the far west at {{convert|4374|m|ft|0|abbr=on}}. The basin of the [[Uvs Lake]], shared with [[Tuva Republic]] in [[Russia]], is a natural [[World Heritage Site]]. Most of the country is hot in the summer and extremely cold in the winter, with January averages dropping as low as {{convert|-30|°C}}.<ref name=mong26>{{cite web |author=|year=2004|url=http://www.imcg.net/gpd/asia/mongolia.pdf|format=PDF|title=Republic of Mongolia|publisher=|accessdate=2008-02-10}}</ref>
 
The country is also subject to occasional harsh climatic conditions known as ''[[zud]]''. The annual average temperature in Ulan Bator is 0&nbsp;°C, making it the world's coldest capital city.<ref name=mong26/> Mongolia is high, cold, and windy. It has an extreme continental climate with long, cold winters and short summers, during which most of its annual precipitation falls. The country averages 257 cloudless days a year, and it is usually at the center of a region of high atmospheric pressure. Precipitation is highest in the north (average of {{convert|200|to|350|mm|in|1|sp=us}} per year) and lowest in the south, which receives {{convert|100|to|200|mm|in|1|sp=us}} annually. The highest annual precipitation of 622.297mm occurred in the forests of [[Bulgan Province]] close to the border with Russia and the lowest of 41.735mm occurred in the Gobi Desert (period 1961-1990).<ref>[http://gis.wwf.mn/En/index.php/national-gis/annual-average-temperature-and-precipitation-of-mongolia.html# Annual average temperature and precipitation of Mongolia]. UNDP Mongolia.</ref> The sparsely populated far north of Bulgan Province averages 600mm in annual precipitation which means it receives more precipitation than [[Beijing]] (571.8mm) or [[Berlin]] (571mm).
 
The name "Gobi" is a Mongol term for a desert steppe, which usually refers to a category of arid rangeland with insufficient vegetation to support [[marmot]]s but with enough to support [[camel]]s. Mongols distinguish Gobi from desert proper, although the distinction is not always apparent to outsiders unfamiliar with the Mongolian landscape. Gobi rangelands are fragile and are easily destroyed by overgrazing, which results in expansion of the true desert, a stony waste where not even [[Bactrian camel]]s can survive.

Mongolia is a [[parliamentary]] [[republic]]. The parliament is elected by the people and in turn elects the government. The president is elected directly. Mongolia's [[Constitution of Mongolia|constitution]] guarantees full [[freedom of expression]], religion, and gives other freedoms. Mongolia has a number of political parties, the biggest ones being the [[Mongolian People's Party]] (MPP or MPRP) and the [[Democratic Party (Mongolia)|Democratic Party]] (DP).
 
បន្ទាត់ទី២៨២៖
The [[President of Mongolia]] has a largely symbolic role, but can block the Parliament's decisions. The parliament, in response, can then overrule the veto by a two-thirds majority vote. Mongolia's [[constitution]] provides three requirements for taking office as [[president]]; the candidate must be a native-born Mongolian, be at least 45 years of age, and have resided in Mongolia for five years prior to taking office. The president is also required to formally resign his or her party membership. The current president is [[Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj]], a former two-time prime minister and member of the [[Democratic Party (Mongolia)|Democratic Party]]. He was elected as president on May 24, 2009 and inaugurated on June 18.

The legislative arm, the [[State Great Khural]], has one chamber with 76 seats and is chaired by the speaker of the house. It elects its members every four years by general elections. The State Great Khural is powerful in the Mongolian government with the president being largely symbolic and the prime minister being chosen by the parliament from among its own membership.

[[Fileឯកសារ:Naadamceremony2006.jpg|thumb|left|[[Naadam]] is the largest summer celebration]]
The main festival is [[Naadam]], which has been organised for centuries, consists of three Mongolian traditional sports, [[archery]], horse-racing (over long stretches of open country, not the short racing around a track practiced in the West), and wrestling. Nowadays it is held on July 11 to July 13 in the honour of the anniversaries of the National Democratic Revolution and foundation of the Great Mongol State. Another very popular activity called Shagaa is the "flicking" of sheep ankle bones at a target several feet away, using a flicking motion of the finger to send the small bone flying at targets and trying to knock the target bones off the platform. This contest at Naadam is very popular and develops a serious audience among older Mongolians.
In Mongolia, the [[Tuvan throat singing#Khoomei|khoomei]] (or throat singing), style of music is popular, particularly in parts of Western Mongolia.

Wrestling is the most popular of all Mongol sports. It is the highlight of the Three Manly Games of Naadam. Historians claim that Mongol-style wrestling originated some seven thousand years ago. Hundreds of wrestlers from different cities and aimags around the country take part in the national wrestling competition.

The traditional Mongolian dwelling is known as a ''ger''. In the past it was known by the Russian term ''yurt'', but this is changing as the Mongolian term becomes better known among English-speaking countries. According to Mongolian artist and art critic [[N. Chultem]], the ''ger'' was the basis for development of traditional Mongolian architecture. In the 16th and 17th centuries, lamaseries were built throughout the country. Many of them started as ''ger''-temples. When they needed to be enlarged to accommodate the growing number of worshippers, the Mongolian architects used structures with 6 and 12 angles{{clarify|r=is sides or corners meant?|date=April 2011}} with pyramidal roofs to approximate to the round shape of a ''ger''. Further enlargement led to a quadratic shape of the temples. The roofs were made in the shape of marquees.<ref name="Chultem">{{cite book | authorlink = N.

The traditional music includes a variety of instruments, famously the [[morin khuur]], and also the singing styles like the [[Long song|urtyn duu]] ("long song"), and throat-singing ([[Tuvan throat singing#Khoomei|khoomei]]).
