China lost control of Mongolia in the early 20th century due to the Qing Dynasty's collapse, creating a power vacuum where Outer Mongolia declared independence in 1911, strengthened by Russian support against weak Chinese control, leading to its effective Soviet-backed independence by 1924, which the Republic of China formally recognized after WWII, and the PRC maintained.
The Mongolian Revolution of 1911 occurred when the region of Outer Mongolia declared its independence from the Manchu-led Qing China during the Xinhai Revolution. A combination of factors, including economic hardship and failure to resist Western imperialism, led many in China to be unhappy with the Qing government.
However, the Chinese government lacked any stable control over the region due to massive civil wars in the south and the rise of regional warlords in the Warlord Era. Consequently, Outer Mongolia sought Russian support to claim its independence.
Zhu finally drove the Mongols out of Beijing (1368) and made himself emperor of a new dynasty, the Ming.
However, Chinese forces ultimately overthrew the Mongols to form the Ming Dynasty.
By 1387 – after more than thirty years of war – Zhu Yuanzhang had freed China of Mongol rule, and as China's emperor he founded a new dynasty: the Ming.
The new Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt, under the leadership of Baibars defeated the Mongols at the Battle of Ain Jalut in 1260. This prevented a Mongol invasion of the Holy Lands of Makkah, Madinah, and Jerusalem. This also ensured the safety of the only remaining powerful Muslim empire of the time, the Mamluks.
Many descendants of Genghis Khan exist today, with estimates suggesting that about 0.5 percent of the male population, or roughly 16 million men, carry his Y chromosome as a result of his extensive lineage.

Later in his life, Kublai Khan developed excessive eating and drinking habits, particularly after the deaths of his favorite wife and a son. Kublai died in February 1294, at the age of 79. The rule of the Yuan Dynasty continued for the next 30 years, until Chinese uprisings led to the collapse of the dynasty in 1368.
The Misconception that Mongolians are part of China
One of the primary reasons is the geographic location of Inner Mongolia, which is an autonomous region located in Northern China. However, this region is inhabited by ethnic Mongolians who have their own unique language and culture.
The PRC claims the de jure administration of Taiwan Province, as well as mainland-nearby islands of Kinmen and Matsu Islands, currently controlled by the Republic of China (ROC).
Genghis Kahn's grandson, Kublai Khan, conquered China and moved his capital to the city now known as Beijing in 1271. Kublai Khan probably did not know how to speak Chinese, but he took the Chinese name Yuan for his dynasty.
The Mongol rule became increasingly less stable after 1294 when Kublai Khan died and succession became a problem. In the period between 1308-1333 there were eight emperors; two were assassinated and all died young.
China, he noted, has always adhered to the principles of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness in neighborhood diplomacy. The relations between Mongolia and China have long been friendly, which Mongolia highly appreciates, he added.
Geneticists discovered a Y-chromosome mutation in 8% of males across 16 million Asian populations, which translates to 0.5% of the world's male population, or roughly 16 million men. This mutated group traces back to a common ancestor who lived about 1,000 years ago, around the time of Genghis Khan's reign.
No, the Vikings and the Mongols probably never met. They were located too far apart to have any contact. The Viking Age ended in 1066 AD and the Mongols did not begin creating their vast empire until the early 13th century. However, some of the descendants of the Vikings almost certainly came into contact with Mongols.
Mongols' First Defeat ~~~ In 1260, the Mongols lost a battle for the first time in history. The man who led that defeat? Sayf ad-Din Qutuz — a Persian slave whose family was destroyed by Genghis Khan.
The Mongols were very successful in using depth to avoid costly set-piece battles. Their knowledge of the time required to move forces–both their own and the enemy's–helped them to consistently stay one step ahead of their enemies. Their use of mobility kept enemy forces in movement, either forward or backward.
MONGOL The Prince of Wales (Charles) is a direct descendant of Genghis Khan. This relationship provides The Royal Family with another link to China, for Genghis Khan's grandson Kublai Khan became Emperor of China and founder of its Yuan Dynasty.
The Hazaras of Pakistan have a Mongol origin (Qamar et al. 2002), and many consider themselves to be direct male-line descendants of Genghis Khan.
Genghis Khan gave several of his high-status wives their own ordos or camps to live in and manage. Each camp also contained junior wives, concubines, and even children. It was the job of the Kheshig (Mongol imperial guard) to protect the yurts of Genghis Khan's wives.
Genghis Khan's forces systematically destroyed the Khwarazmian Empire, conquering major cities like Samarkand and Bukhara. The invasion resulted in massive casualties, with estimates ranging from 2 to 15 million deaths. Muhammad II fled westward, pursued relentlessly by Mongol generals.
Hulagu's forces subjugated multiple peoples along the way, most notably the center of the Islamic Empire, Baghdad, which was completely sacked in 1258, destroying the Abbasid Caliphate. From there, the Mongol forces proceeded into Syria.
