The Tuvan People's Republic (or People's Republic of Tannu Tuva; Tuvan: Тыва Арат Республик, Tıwa Arat Respublik, Uniform Turkic Alphabet: Tьva Arat Respuʙlik, IPA: [tʰɯˈʋa aˈɾatʰ resˈpʰuplik]; 1921–44) was a partially recognized independent state in the territory of the former Tuvan protectorate of Imperial Russia also known as Uryankhaisky Krai (Russian: Урянхайский край).
Although formally a sovereign, independent nation from 1921 to 1944, it was considered a satellite state of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union and the Mongolian People's Republic were the only countries to recognize its independence. It joined the Soviet Union in 1944.
Presently, the territory corresponding to that of Tannu Tuva is the non-sovereign Tuva Republic within (and a part of) the Russian Federation.
Before its annexation by the Russian Empire, Tuva was part of the Manchurian-Qing dynasty (Tannu Uriankhai).
Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, communist troops took Tuva in January 1920. The chaos accompanying this era allowed the Tuvans to again proclaim their independence. On 14 August 1921, the Bolsheviks (supported by Russia) established a Tuvan People's Republic, called Tannu Tuva until 1926. Tannu refers to the Tannu-ola Mountains while Tuva is derived from the Tuvan ethnicity.
