Outer Mongolia
Outer Mongolia was the name of a territory in the Manchu-led Qing dynasty of China from 1691 to 1911. It corresponds to the modern-day independent state of Mongolia and the Russian republic of Tuva.

While the administrative region of Outer Mongolia during the Qing dynasty only consisted of the four Khalkha aimags ( Setsen Khan Aimag, Tüsheet Khan Aimag, Sain Noyon Khan Aimag, and Zasagt Khan Aimag), in the late Qing period, "Outer Mongolia" was also used to refer to the combined Khalkha and Oirat regions, as well as the directly-ruled Tannu Uriankhai.

Qaraei
The Karai, Qarai or Qara Tatars ( Black Tatars) are a Turkic tribe found in Khorasan, Azerbaijan, Kerman, and Fars. Etymology According to Encyclopedia Iranica, the Qara'i or Qara Tatars are "a Turkic-speaking tribe of Azerbaijan, Khorasan, Kermān, and Fārs." According to Vladimir Minorsky, the name ''Karāʾi'' may have been rooted in the Keraites, a Mongol people, while according to Gyula Németh, the tribe's name might have originated from other ethnic groups in Central Asia. Since ''qara'' "black" is a designation for "north" in Turkic languages it was a frequently used tribal identifier among the early Turkic peoples, and there are numerous Kipchak groups known by this adjective.

Meanwhile, at the western end of the steppe, more "black Tatars" were troops serving the First Bulgarian Empire. History The Qara Tatars w ...
