Hello.
I am interested in Japanese politics in The Great East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere and areas around it. But I have not been able to find almost any sources about Japanese politics in Mongolia, especially AFTER the border conflicts with Soviet Union. Can anybody enlighten me in the subject? Or point out sources in internet?
I know the Japanese had some political movement or armed force in Manchukuo for uniting Mongolia (in my Estonian sources i see their leader in 1945 as Prince Te, but the spelling could be different in anglo-american sources). But thats about all I know.
Any help most warmely welcomed.
Best Regards,
Mait.

That's all I can find myself--it's a subject I'd like to see some elaboration of too.

after Nomonhan
The Japanese did a lot in the 1930s vis a vis Mongolia but after getting their heads handed to them at Nomonhan/Khalkhin Gol pretty much put an end to the Japanese adventures in Mongolia (Peoples Republic). Mengjian which they had seized in 1937 in the first part of the China War they kept til 1945. But that was part of China.
In 1941 IIRC they signed a non agression pact with the Soviets which would have included the Mongolian Peoples Republc a Soviet ally and all their border issues were settled mostly in the Soviets favor. The Japanese had no interest in provoking the Russians again.
Read Coox's book "Nomonhan" it has a lot of detail on this.

I'm looking for informations on the same topic but 20 years before.
When Mait's fellow countryman Ungern-Khan moved into Mongolia, he was backed up by the japanese as well political as also with military adivsors.
Were the siberian operations in 1918-1922 sort of a first try to get a foot in the door of a Great East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere?
