Mongolian Flag History
by Alexander Black
A large number of ethnicities have inhabited Mongolia since prehistoric times. Most of these people were nomads who, from time to time, formed confederations that rose to prominence. The first of these, the Xiongnu, were brought together to form a confederation by Modun Shanyu in 209 BC.
The current Mongolian flag was adopted on February 12, 1992. The flag is similar to the one used in 1949, except for the removal of a star on the current version. Mongolia received independence from China on July 11, 1921. Mongolia introduced the basic design of the flag in 1940.
These nomadic tribes consist of the Xianbei, the Rouran, the Gokturks and many other tribes. The Mongol Empire was created by the great conqueror, Genghis Khan in 1206. After the 17th century, Mongolia fell under the rule of the Qing Dynasty and in 1911 at the end of the Qing dynasty, Mongolia proclaimed its independence. The fight for the country’s independence lasted until 1921 when it established its independence from China and by 1945, to be recognized internationally as a sovereign state.
During its struggle against China, it was heavily influenced by the Russians and the Soviet political system and this was reflected in Mongolian politics. When Communism in East Europe experienced a collapse in 1989, Mongolia also experienced Democratic Revolution in early 1990. This political event steered the way for a new constitution in 1992.
The soyombo is made up of many symbols. At the top of the symbol, there is a flame, representing growth and wealth, each tongue of the flame symbolizes time, one for the past, present, and future. Below the flame is the sun over a crescent moon, representing Mongolia's eternal existence. Two triangles pointing down next to rectangular bands represent spears, defeating enemies.
The circle can also be interpreted as two fish that never close their eyes, representing the watchfulness and vigilance of Mongolians. The vertical rectangles represent pillars which symbolize strength, resolve, and hardness. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Mongolian flag for the future.
