Note: When Mongolia regained its national freedom and independence in 1911, the nobles of Southern Mongolia, who had good information about what was happening in the south, played a huge role. From going to Russia to ask for help, accompanying them to communicate with the Russians, acting as interpreters and mediators, many Buryat intellectuals, mobilized the knowledge they had learned in Tsarist Russia and played a huge role in building the new Mongolia.

Mongolia is the country of all World Mongols, built by the cooperation of the Mongol nations.
