What has happened to the lifestyle of the Mongols in the last fifty two years ?
After the Chinese communist takeover Inner Mongolia, millions of (over 20 million) Chinese were settled in Inner Mongolia by the Chinese government. These Chinese people turned the vast grassland into farm and since the soil and weather are not fit for cultivation, the land of the Mongols is turning to deserts. Because of the mass population, the Mongols have been forced to give up their nomadic lifestyle and forced to live in the house of dirt and bricks instead of the beautiful yurts.
