This paper outlines the background to the internal conflicts in the Peking government and the Outer Mongolian government in 1919, and relates how these conflicts influenced the negotiations for the cancellation of self-government. In conjunction with this background the translation and analysis of the 1919 section of Hsu She-cheng's nien-p’u provide a fairly detailed picture of the events in Urga in the latter months of 1919. / Arts, Faculty of / Asian Studies, Department of / Graduate
