This dissertation is a diplomatic history of the modern Sino-Soviet border as defined from the 1858 Treaty of Aigun to the independence of Outer Mongolia in 1924. Not only was the boundary in existence at the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 formed during this time, but territory greater in extent than the United States east of the Mississippi River either became Russian outright or became a Russian protectorate. The dissertation focuses on four periods of activity along the border: (1) 1858-1860, when Russia took the Amur Basin and Maritime Province, (2) 1871-1881, when China secured a Russian withdrawal from the Ili Valley in Sinkiang, (3) 1896-1905, when Japan forced Russia to abandon dreams of absorbing Manchuria and (4) 1911-1924 when Imperial Russia and then the Soviet Union transformed Outer Mongolia from a Chinese into a Soviet protectorate. In tracing this history, the dissertation also examines the interaction of Russian and Chinese imperialism, and the role played by myths in shoring up the legitimacy of beleaguered imperial governments. The struggle for the Russian and Chinese governments to maintain their legitimacy in an ever more hostile international and domestic environment made them rely on a variety of myths: (1) both claimed that their frontier area had long been an integral part of each empire, (2) the Russians insisted that, unlike the other Europeans, their relations with China had been uniquely harmonious, (3) the Soviets maintained that their policies in the Far East represented a radical departure from Tsarist policies, (4) the Chinese believed that China had always been the victim of imperialist predations and had never victimized others, and (5) the Chinese blamed many of their foreign policy failures on the inadequacy of their diplomats. In fact, the borderlands were integral to neither, Russian relations with China were uniquely tense, the Soviets finished the work of the Tsarist government in Outer Mongolia, China's abuse of its border peoples directly contributed to its territorial losses, and late Ch'ing dynasty and early Republican period diplomats generally were not incompetent. The need to create such myths shows the importance both countries attached to Russo-Chinese relations in general and to the boundary issue in particular.
