Despite Mongolia's short summers, wheat growing has co-existed for thousands of years with nomadic herding, which the Mongols took up after they tamed horses, yaks and camels. The name 'Mongol' was first recorded by the Chinese during the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD). At that time Mongolia was dominated by a Turkic people called the Uighurs. The Uighurs were influenced by Christianity and, after taking control of Mongolia, went on to save the ailing Tang rulers of China from an internal revolt. The Uighurs controlled most of Mongolia until 840 AD, when they were defeated by the Kyrgyz, who now live in the Chinese province of Xinjiang.

Before the Mongols, the area of today's Mongolia was host to a variety of cultures, some directly ancestral to the Mongols, some not. They included hunter-gatherers, farmers, even fishermen, and from the second half of the first millennium bce, various groups of pastoral nomads. Such groups introduced those cultural elements that were to typify the area subsequently: an extremely mobile way of life based on the horse; extensive herding, usually of sheep, but also of goats, cattle, and later, camels; the ger (yurt), the basis of steppe mobility; and probably koumiss drinking and much of the shared intellectual culture of the area as well. Most famous among the pastoral groups were the Xsiongnu, competitors of the Chinese Han dynasty (206 bce–220 ce); the Xianbei, proto-Mongols and very active in China; the Rouran, with whom the European Avars may be connected; and various Turkic-speaking groups from whom the Mongols borrowed much, including their script. The Mongols as such first appeared in the ninth century ce, initially under the control of others, including the Khitan, founders of the Liao dynasty (907–1125), and the Jurchen, the Tungus-speaking successors to the Liao and founders of the Jurchen Jin dynasty (1125–1234). Although sedentary, the Jurchen followed the example of the Khitan in maintaining a presence deep into the steppe, using steppe groups as allies.

I haven't changed anything, except to move the footnotes to endnotes and correct one or two transcription errors. That explains why in some places there are references to later chapters and so on. I'll go back and add in the rest of the citations later. I'm sure this is not how I'd write a summary of Mongolian history today if I were to write one. I won't even vouch that there aren't mistakes in the details. Since I finally dug up the dissertation files, I figured I'd put this up in the hope that someone might find it of interest. I may someday go back and revise this a bit my thinking has changed in some areas, new books have been written, and so forth. And maybe I'll try to add some illustrations as well. But until then, this is still a decent, brief account. Since the text is so long, I've broken it up into separate pages.
