On this day in 1911, Mongolia restored its independence after about 200 years of Manchu rule with a national movement known as the 1911 Revolution. On December 29, the Mongolian people enthroned the 8th Bogd Jebtsundamba Khutuktu as the King of Mongolia and a theocratic ruler. With the enthronement, Mongolia became a Bogd Khaanate.
