The Liberation of Khovd (Mongolian: Ховдын чөлөөлөх байлдаан) took place in August 1912, when Mongolian revolutionary forces captured the Qing garrison in Khovd, ending Qing rule in western Mongolia. It was one of the key victories that secured Mongolia’s independence after the 1911 Revolution.

Before the Liberation of Khovd the city was controlled by Chinese troops. Local Mongols, including nobles and monks, were unhappy with Chinese rule. During the Mongolian Revolution of 1921, the Mongolian People’s Party, helped by Soviet forces, planned to take back the city. Khovd was very important because it was the main city in western Mongolia, and taking it would help make Mongolia fully independent

In 1921, Mongolian revolutionaries, supported by Soviet soldiers, attacked Khovd to free it from Chinese control. The fighting included attacks on the city’s walls and key Chinese positions. The local Mongol fighters worked together with the Soviets, and after several days of fighting, the Chinese troops were defeated and forced to leave the city. The revolutionaries took control of Khovd without major destruction to the city

After the liberation, Khovd was fully under the control of Mongolian revolutionary forces. The victory allowed the revolutionaries to secure western Mongolia and strengthen the new Mongolian government. Local Chinese troops left the region, and Mongol leaders and citizens were able to restore local administration. The success of the liberation helped pave the way for the establishment of the Mongolian People’s Republic later in 1921 and is remembered as an important step in Mongolia’s independence
