Because it would have run contrary to our traditions. If we had done it, however, I suspect the two chosen (in '45) would have been New York and Texas. It might have been amusing to see Texas vote with South Africa on the side of Rhodesia in the late 1960s.

That would have been funny, that might also lead to a secessionist Texas, which wouldn't be funny at all.
 
Im more interested the idea of an Afghani SSR, as some have postulated either a 'successful' invasion in the 1980s or an earlier coup/invasion wsould have seen a former Soviet Afghanistan arise in the 1990s much like its Stan neighbours, ie poor but moderatly stable under a pseudo-socialist-nationalist-islamic dictatorship that sees Taliban nutjobs thrown on the garbage pile of history.

Not nessecarily what would have happened but certainly an interesting possibility.
 
Mongolia did join the UN in 1961.
In fact, they tried in 1955, but were blocked by Taiwan- who at that time held China's seat and veto on the UNSC. In 1961, the USSR threatened to block admission of all the new countries in Africa unless Mongolia was allowed to join.

The thing with the states is very interesting- I'll start a thread about it.
 
The Soviet Army remains behind to "help" rebuild the country, and they continent to occupy it, they prop up the Mongolian People's Party and in 1924 following four years of Soviet occupation and the the death of Boghda Khaan and a shamed election later, Mongolia "votes" to join the USSR.
Soviets, especially after more pragmatic "Stalinist" fraction defeated wild-eyed trotskyite revolutionaries, were actually pretty set on following international agreements. Mongolia been designated Russian Empire's "sphere of interest" in 1911 in one of those colonial agreements, do they kept it this way. Baltics were part of the empire for 200 years, so they invaded in 1939 to pick up stray pieces. And so on. As simple as that...

Mongolia were 18% Russian in 1990
Half-mil Russians in Mongolia in 1990? I would like to see some proof of that. Number look overinflated 5-10 times to me...

I read it in a newspaper a few years ago, so I lack a source for it. But I don't think it's that unlikely it was mostly experts* and military personel, compared to the Danish presence in Greenland** (also a wasteland), it look right.

*all from doctors and nurses to bureaucrats and industrial specialists.
