What is the small country between USSR and Mongolia in 1935?

score:31

Accepted answer

It is Tannu Tuva. When Mongolia broke out from China in 1911, this little territory was separated from China (which was in a state of internal turmoil during the first years of the Republic of China) but was not claimed by Mongolia.

In practice, Tannu Tuva was a Soviet satellite country, only the Soviet Union and Mongolia recognized it.

Stalin annexed it to the SU in 1944.

As a side note, the protests by Chinese Nationalist Government (the Kuomintang) about Soviet encroachment in it are credited as the reason for Stalin switching his support to the Communist Party of China.

The answer to your question is the Tuvan People's Republic, or Tannu Tuva for short. It was a puppet state of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1944, when it was then absorbed into the Soviet Union. Today, the closest remnants of Tannu Tuva is the Tuva Republic, a subdivision of Russia.
