Tannu Uriankhai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tannu Uriankhai (Traditional Chinese: 唐努烏梁海; Simplified Chinese: 唐努乌梁海; Hanyu Pinyin: Tángnǔ Wūliánghǎi) is a historical region largely identical with today's Tuva[1]. It was originally a part of Outer Mongolia.
After Outer Mongolia became independent from China, the region of Tannu Uriankhai increasingly came under Russian influence and finally became an independent communist state, the Tuvinian People's Republic, which was incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1944.
Nowadays, the realms of Tuva largely corresponds to the Tuva Republic of the Russian Federation, with the remaining spreading in the modern state of Mongolia and the rest of Russia. Sovereignity over the area has not been officially renounced by the Republic of China, based on the island of Taiwan since 1949.
