Mongolia during Qing rule refers to the period of Qing Dynasty's rule over the Outer Mongolian 4 aimags and Inner Mongolian 6 leagues. The last Khagan Ligdan saw much of his power weakened in his quarrels with the Mongol tribes and was defeated by the Manchus, he died soon afterwards. His son Ejei Khan gave Huang Taiji the imperial authority, ending the Northern Yuan then centered in Inner Mongolia by 1635. However, the Khalkha Mongols in Outer Mongolia retained their independence until they were overrun by the Zunghars in 1690, and they submitted to the Qing Dynasty in 1691.
The Qing Dynasty had ruled Mongolia and Inner Mongolia for over 200 years. During this period Qing rulers established separate administrative structures to govern each region. While the empire maintained firm control in both Inner and Outer Mongolia, the Mongols in Outer Mongolia (which is further from the capital Beijing) enjoyed more degree of autonomy, and also retained own language and culture during this period.
