Person
Bogd Khan
The Bogd Khan was the 8th Jebtsundamba Khutuktu, the head of Tibetan Buddhism in Mongolia, born in Tibet. When Qing rule collapsed in 1911, Mongol nobles proclaimed him Great Khan of an independent Mongolia, ruling from Urga. He remained a largely nominal monarch under Chinese occupation and then the 1921 revolution, and after his death the Mongolian People's Republic was declared.
