Abstract: In 1945,under the dual pressure of the USA and the Soviet Union,Chiang Kai-shek was force to accept Yalta Agreement In view of problems of the Northeast,Xinjiang and the Chinese Communist Party,Chiang agreed to sign The Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance,allowing Outer Mongolia to be independent through self-determination.Though the Nationalist government declared Outer Mongolia’s independence,it did not settle the boundary between China and Mongolia,this led Sino-Mongolia relations to be strained.After the outbreak of Beitashan Incident,the Nationalist government turned to deny Outer Mongolia’s independence.It took an anti-Soviet policy and tried to get the USA’s support,but put itself between two fires.The Cold War between the USA and the Soviet Union and the confrontation across the Taiwan Strait also affected the foreign relations of the People’s Republic of Mongolia.It was thereby difficult to join the United Nations and became a bargaining counter in diplomatic disputes in the Cold War situation.
