Mongolia was part of the Qing Dynasty's territory and, as the Republic of China saw itself as the successor state to the Qing Dynasty, they claimed the territory. They only controlled it very briefly though, and even then only nominally. The moment the Qing were overthrown Mongolia declared independence under the Bogd Khan, and they stayed like that until 1919 when warlord Xu Shuzheng conquered it.
That only lasted a year though, because White General Roman von Ungern-Sternberg, fleeing from the White's loss of the Russian Civil War, invaded Mongolia and set the Bogd Khan back up, although in practice von Ungern and his troops were in control. He had this weird obsession with Vajrayana Buddhism and had some strange ambitions about rebuilding the Mongol Empire with the Bogd Khan at it's head, but that didn't go anywhere because the Soviets intervened in 1921 and - supporting local communist rebels - set up the People's Republic of Mongolia, which is the same Mongolian state that we have today. Although they did transition to a capitalistic market economy in 1990, of course.
Taiwan actually acknowledged Mongolia as an independent state in 2002, so they don't officially claim it anymore.
Taiwan is the Guaidó of countries.
I'm gonna get this as a tattoo it's so perfect
Funniest part is Taiwan’s official land claims literally include all of Mongolia too for some fucking reason
