Not WW2, but the war of khalkha gol. It had lasting effects on the region's geopolitical landscape, influencing both World War II and the Cold War that followed. The Khalkha River War between the Soviets and Japan occurred near the border of modern-day Mongolia and Manchukuo (under Japanese occupation). Japan attempted to expand, while Mongolians aimed to reunite with Southern Mongols, who were also receiving support from the Japanese to gain independence from China. Tried several times prior and after this war. Japan, on the other hand, sought to dominate Mongolia, leading to conflict with the Soviets. For Mongolians, Japan is remembered as the enemy during that war. However, for Southern Mongols, the Japanese were seen as heroes, helping them gain independence. Japan even established Japanese schools in Southern Mongolia, taught the Japanese language, and selected students to study in Japan. This has led to an admiration for Japan among Inner Mongolians, with many still seeing the Japanese positively and moving to Japan. The war is a bittersweet memory. It was a victorious and proud moment for Mongolians, but not for Southern Mongols, who had different experiences and aspirations. Mongolians today do not harbor strong negative feelings toward the Japanese and mainly remember the war as a difficult time, particularly for the Japanese soldiers. (If u know why, then u know) Meanwhile, in contrast, many people in China still view Japan negatively due to its broader aggression and occupation during that era. Which is also weird because southern mongols are also chinese.
