ABSTRACT

Roman Feodorovich von Ungern-Sternberg was a White Army commander during the Russian Civil War, leading the 'Asian Cavalry Division' in political and military activities in the Russian Far East and Outer Mongolia. He advocated for the establishment of independent monarchies in regions such as the Russian Far East, Mongolia, Inner Mongolia in China, Northeast China, Xinjiang, Xizang, among others. With the support of Japan, he led the Asian Cavalry Division in multiple attacks against the troops of the Beiyang Government of China. On February 3, 1921, Ungern captured the city of Urga, reinstated Bogd Khan, and declared the reconstruction of the Great Mongolian State. This battle resulted in the loss of military and political control over Outer Mongolia by the Chinese government, significantly impacting the geopolitical landscape. Although research on Ungern and his nation-building attempts still lacks direct and coherent historical records, examining his endeavors helps fill the gap in understanding the influence of the Russian Civil War on China's geopolitical situation.
