Tsarist Russia has always had ambitions for Mongolia. Why doesn't it annex it?

Russia coveted Mongolia for a long time, but it never annexed it. This is not the original intention of Russia, but there is no chance to annex it.

Russia's ambition for Mongolia has a long history. Since Peter the Great, Russia has been famous for its aggression. Coupled with Mongolia's excellent geographical location, Russia is even more hungry for our territory.

In fact, as early as16th century, Russia began to plan for Mongolia. /kloc-At the beginning of the 0/7th century, Russian immigrants flooded into Siberia, and Russians still kept in touch with people in southern Mongolia. By the middle of the17th century, Russia stepped up its trade with Mongolia on the border, ostensibly under the banner of trade, and began to exert a subtle influence on Mongolia and then seized it.

/kloc-at the end of 0/7/kloc-at the beginning of 0/8, Russia and the Qing court reached a fixed point on the contradiction between outer Mongolia. Only at that time, when the Qing court was powerful, Russia knew that it could not fight hard, so it had to sign two treaties required by the Qing court, namely, the Treaty of Chaktu and the Brinsky Border Treaty. The reason why the Qing court asked Russia to sign these two treaties was to delimit the Sino-Russian border and Russia's trade stronghold in Mongolia, but it also warned them not to go too far. However, Russia has been staring at Mongolia. With the decline of the strength of the Qing government in the later period, the Russian forces began to operate in Mongolia again. /kloc-in the middle of 0/9th century, Russia entered Mongolia.

They want outer Mongolia, they get outer Mongolia, so when outer Mongolia splits, Russia just waits and sees, trying to seize it.

However, the fact is far from so beautiful. /kloc-In the middle and late 9th century, the rule of the Russian Ottoman Empire in the Balkans was also tottering. In order to expand to the Neil Strait and the Bosporus Strait, Britain and France opposed it, so the Crimean War broke out and Russia became self-sufficient, which temporarily eased the idea of obtaining Outer Mongolia immediately. Then, Britain and Japan reached an alliance and the Russo-Japanese War broke out again. After two wars, Russia's strength was greatly reduced. In order to ease the relationship with Britain, Russia contracted the Asian battlefield. 1907, Russia and Britain signed the "Anglo-Russian Agreement", and the two sides reached an agreement on the division of the Middle East, which eventually formed the allied camp during World War I. Therefore, Russia can no longer occupy Outer Mongolia.
