Mongolian People’s Republic, 1924
The Mongolian People’s Republic was proclaimed on 26 November 1924 and adopted a red flag with three tails from the fly and the “Soyombo”, the national symbol, in yellow. The name of the country - Bügd Nairamdakh Mongol Ard Uls - was inscribed in Mongolian script on both sides of the Soyombo. In 1939, after the victory of Mongolian and Soviet troops against the Japanese in the Battle of Khalkhin Gol, branches of Nelumbo - a type of lotus flower, a symbol of victory - were added.
