The new [[People's Republic of Mongolia]] left the existing administrative subdivisions in place at first. |

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 Russian-Japanese War 1941 an administrative reorganisation was initiated, which resulted in the Aymags 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 Aymags Bayanhongor, Bayan-Ölgiy, Bulgan, Dundgovi, Govi-Altay, and Sühbaatar. The Selenge Aymag was split from Töv Aymag two years later.
The Choibalsan Aymag was renamed to Dornod Aymag in 1963 and the capital Ulaanbaatar was split from Töw Aymag as a federal district. The same status was given to the newly founded industrial cities of Darhan (1961 in the Selenge Aymag) and Erdenet (1975 in the Bulgan Aymag). In 1994, two Somon of the Bulgan Aymag were taken to bild the Orhon Aymag around Erdenet, and four Somon of the Selenge Aymag to bild the Darhan-Uul Aymag around Darhan, ending the special status of the two cities. The Govisümber Aymag was split from the Dornogovi Aymag in 1996.
