ABSTRACT

After the submission of Mongolia to the Manchu Dynasty now reigning in China the significance of Aimaks and their rulers declined. The Aimaks of Khalkha, as administrative units, are replaced by the Leagues (see No. 872) and the power of the Khans (see No. 873) by the authority of the CaptainsGeneral of the Leagues (see No. 872). Throughout the remainder of Mongolia the appurtenance of various Banners to one Aimak is shown by their common designation.
