Pro-independence propaganda (left) and a ballot paper (right)
An independence referendum was held in the Mongolian People's Republic on 20 October 1945.[1] [2]
Mongolia had gained de facto independence from the Republic of China in the Mongolian Revolution of 1921 . In that year the last Chinese troops in Mongolia had been expelled by the White Russian general Roman von Ungern-Sternberg , prompting Soviet intervention . The Mongolian People's Republic was effectively an unrecognized satellite state of the Soviet Union (USSR). Towards the end of World War II , the USSR pushed China for formal recognition of the status quo , threatening to stir up Mongolian nationalism within China . In the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance signed on 14 August 1945, China agreed to recognize Mongolian independence after a successful referendum.

Reactions
[ edit ]
In January 1946, the Nationalist Government of the Republic of China officially recognized the "independence of Outer Mongolia" based on referendum results.[3]
Analysis
[ edit ]
At the scientific conference dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the referendum, Zandaakhüügiin Enkhbold , speaker of the State Great Khural , said that the referendum in 1945 was the first democratic vote in Mongolia, and was of great historical significance to the independence of the country.[4]
Sergey Radchenko, a professor of East China Normal University noted that the "referendum was regarded by both sides as political theatre, due to the peculiarity of a supposed unanimous 100% vote in favour."[5]
