100 years ago after the Xinhai Revolution on the 15th of January, 1912 in a result of the Barguts’ rebellion Barga declared its independence. Russia acted as a mediator, having signed a treaty with China in October, 1915. According to this treaty Barga became a special district subject to Central Chinese Government. After revolution in Russia the Japanese initiated a plan of establishment of Great Mongol State, suggesting consolidation under its protectorate Outer, Inner Mongolia and Barga, that were parts of China, and also Buryat_ Mongolia which was and still is a part of Russia. China concerned with activity of Japan wanted to take an advantage of civil war in Russia and Zabaikalye, deciding to return a total control over Barga. On the 28th of January, 1920 Decree of China Republic President was issued, which declared liquidation of Barga independence.
