Tuva was historically a part of Outer Mongolia, and with the latter, from the 18th century onward, a part of
Qing China (then known as Uriankhai Territory).
Following the Chinese Revolution in 1911, Outer Mongolia declared independence. In the following years
Mongolia
was contested by Russian Whites, Russian Reds and the Chinese; Tuva in the process became a separate polity,
under strong Russian influence, perhaps gaining most notoriety for the exotic postage stamps issued in its name -
symbols of political independence. In 1944 Tuva was annexed by the U.S.S.R. Today, Tuva is an autonomous republic within the Russian Federation. Alternative spellings : Tuva, Touva, Tyva, Tannu Tuva Tuva since 1991 Tuva 1944-1991 Tannu Touva 1929-1944 Tannu Touva 1914-1929 |
