There's no such thing as "a" Tibet. Tibet is a country.

Tibet is a plateu region in Asia, the highest region on earth. Sometimes it's even referred to as the "roof of the world". Also, it's a very religious country. Religion is extremely important to the Tibetans and has a strong influence over the country and its people's lives. In fact, a lot of Tibetan art depicts Buddha or other visions of religious significance. The "Dalai Lama" is a well-known term for a lineage of religious rulers.

For a long while, however, China has owned Tibet, claiming that Tibet was originally a part of China. It was their excuse for invasion. This is a very controversial issue, especially considering recent archaelogical evidence that hints otherwise, but for the time being Tibet stays under China's rule

======================

Tibet is NOT a country.

To be a country, it has to be accepted by other countries as being so. Currently NO countries in the world recognize Tibet as a country.

In fact, official maps from the West in the last few hundred years all show Tibet as part of China

In other words, Tibet has been part of China for at least a few hundred years. This would therefore invalidate the claim that China invaded Tibet in 1950.

There is one example of the map of China produced by the US government in 1944 at time index 3:04 from the video clip in the related links section below this answer.
