context_page_description: The 1932 armed uprising in Mongolia was a popular revolt against the "left course" policies of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party as directed by Soviet Bolsheviks and Comintern agents in the People's Republic of Mongolia. Principally led by lamas, the uprisings covered the northwest part of the country and lasted from April–November 1932. Most rebels consisted of common herders but even many party members and the local bureaucrats joined the rebellion. The insurgents were spurred on by rumors of support from the Panchen Lama and the Japanese. More than 1500 people were killed in the violence as both insurgents and Soviet-backed the Mongolian troops sent to quell the rebellion engaged in atrocities. Special study revealed that this uprising corresponds to generally accepted criteria of the civil war. Suggestions that the uprising was inspired or supported by Japan or the 9th Panchen Lama are not confirmed by archival documents.
context_section_description: The uprising covered the country's four most populated aimags (Khövsgöl, Arkhangai, Övörkhangai, Zavkhan, Dörböt, partly Altai and Southern Govi). The numbers are quite fragmentary but more than 3,000 people are said to have participated on the side of the insurgents, and they are said to have killed more than 700 people between April and July 1932. According to a short-time chairman of the Defense Council, D. Ölziibat, 500 insurgents were killed in 16 battles, and 615 insurgents were condemned to death by drumhead courts-martial. 35 sum centers and 45 cooperatives were destroyed. According to one Soviet document, 8000-10,000 people were killed.
  Total number of people killed by insurgents is many times less than the total number of victims of the uprising.
