History

Towards the end of the Qing Dynasty of the Manchu in China, the territory of Outer Mongolia was divided into the khanates Khowd, Jassaktu, Sain-Noin, Tushetu, and Tsetsen. After the Mongolian declaration of independence of 1921, the provinces of Ala-Shan, Ordos, Silin Gol, and Chearim remained with China, and Tannu Tuva became the independent Urjanchai Republic (today the autonomous Tuva Republic in Russia). The new People's Republic of Mongolia left the existing administrative subdivisions in place at first.

After the end of the Soviet-Japanese Border Wars (1938-1939) an administrative reorganisation was initiated in 1941, which resulted in the Aimags Arhangay, Choibalsan, Dornogovi, Zavhan, Hentiy, Hovd, Hövsgöl, Ömnögovi, Övörhangay, Töv, and Uvs. A long strip of the southern Govi fell back to China in 1954. The subdivision of the remaining Mongolia was then refined, creating the Aimags Bayanhongor, Bayan-Ölgiy, Bulgan, Dundgovi, Govi-Altay, and Sühbaatar. The Selenge Aymag was split from Töv Aimag two years later.

The Choibalsan Aimag was renamed to Dornod Aimag in 1963 and the capital Ulaanbaatar was split from Töv Aimag as a federal district. The same status was given to the newly founded industrial cities of Darhan (1961 in the Selenge Aimag) and Erdenet (1975 in the Bulgan Aimag). In 1994, two Sums of the Bulgan Aimag were taken to build the Orhon Aimag around Erdenet, and four Sums of the Selenge Aimag to build the Darhan-Uul Aimag around Darkhan, ending the special status of the two cities. The Govisümber Aimag was split from the Dornogovi Aimag in 1996.
