Tibet emerged from an obscure history to flourish in the 7th cent. A.D. Kublai Khan Foreign Contacts During the 18th cent., British authorities in India attempted to establish relations with Lhasa, but the Gurkha invasion of 1788 and the subsequent Gurkha war (1792) with Tibet brought an abrupt end to the rapprochement. Jesuits and Capuchins had visited Tibet in the 17th and 18th cent., but throughout the 19th cent. Tibet maintained its traditional seclusion. Meanwhile, Ladakh , long part of Tibet, was lost to the rulers of Kashmir, and Sikkim was detached (1890) by Britain. In 1893, Britain succeeded in obtaining a trading post at Yadong, but continued Tibetan interference led to the military expedition (1904) of Sir Francis Younghusband Tibet and China The Panchen Lama, who had accepted Chinese sponsorship, acceded to the spiritual leadership of Tibet. The Chinese adopted brutal repressive measures, provoking charges from the Dalai Lama of genocide. Landholdings were seized, the lamaseries were virtually emptied, and thousands of monks were forced to find other work. The Panchen Lama was deposed in 1964 after making statements supporting the Dalai Lama; he was replaced by a secular Tibetan leader. In 1962, China launched attacks along the Indian-Tibetan border to consolidate territories it claimed had been wrongly given to India by the British McMahon Commission in 1914. Following a cease-fire, Chinese troops withdrew behind the disputed line in the east but continued to occupy part of Ladakh in Kashmir. Some border areas are still in dispute.

History of Tibet From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Tibet is situated between the two ancient cultural centers of India and China but its location on the remote Tibetan plateau served to isolate it from both. It is not known if the Tibetans originated in Central Asia or East Asia , but they do share a linguistic heritage with the Chinese and the Burmese , suggesting a common source for all three groups (discussions of the relative closeness or distance between Tibetans and Han Chinese are tied up in the politics of Tibetan independence). Certainly an independent Tibetan language and Tibetan culture existed prior to any historical accounting.

[Add Section] History [edit this] [Upload image] The earliest known tribes of Tibet were the Chiang and the Sumpa, who lived in the 2nd century before christ. Before that, people had lived in Tibet for a long time. Excavations around Chamdo unearthed remains of neolithic people of around 50.000. years old. Tibetan civilisation started around the Yarlung Valley. Legend has it that here a monkey and a she-devil produced the first Tibettians. Around 600 AD, Namri Songtsen began bringing together the tribes of Tibet into a unified empire. However, he did not see the unity he strived for, but his son, Songsen Gampo did. Songsten build the empire into a fearfull entity in Central Asia and moved the capital to Lhasa. At this time, Tibet became Budhist. Songsten introduced Sanskrit as writing system and under the influence of his Budhist wives from China and Nepal, adapted Budhisme to Bon, the Shamanist religion the Budhists practised until that date. The next two hundred years saw Tibet become a great power in Central Asia. The empire stretched from Turkstan to Burma, incorporating Kashmir and all of the Hymalaya kingdoms. China was the big competitor in these days, as the growing influence of the Tibettians threatened the traditional Chinese rule over the Silk road oases.
