What is the current situation in Tibet?
Many people were cheated by one and did something irrational, that is the March 14 event all about. - Sorry, not exactly and what kind of answer is this?! It's so vague. It's March 10th, uprising day. The day where the Tibetans fought against the Chinese army stationed in Lhasa back when the 14th Dalai Lama was young.
CommentIn modern world, everyone wants peace and security, violence can do nothing but break them all. Fortunately, It is believed that everything will be all right and Tibet will be reopened to tourism soon.Word of mouth may not reflect the truth, go and see with your own eyes.
Again a vague answer.
Tibet is full of natural resources. It is also in the middle of Asia. These two factors are why China wants to own Tibet. Tibet, historically has a small population compared to China.
Tibet was sold to China by England behind Tibet's back. There were only two representatives from China living in Lhasa. Tibet won it's independence. In the late 40's, the Chinese government claimed Tibet because of England's agreements and the two reps that had previously lived in Tibet. The truth is, there were pillars marking the boundary of China and Tibet on Tibet's Eastern border for over 700 years. The CHinese army destroyed many of them.
China marched into Tibet killing many people, seizing assets of the rich and plunging Lhasa into extreme famine. The Chinese government wanted to kill Dalai Lama and he fled to India where he now lives.
The genocide didn't stop there. Since the 1950's Tibetans have been tortured and killed by the Chinese government. They have been persecuted for practicing their religion. They can't even put up a picture of Dalai Lama in their homes. Hundreds of thousands of Tibetans have fled to India for religious and physical freedom.
There are numerous human rights reports available for anyone to read and understand the horrific accounts of the Tibetan victims.
Tibetan is a different language from Chinese. Tibet has it's own unique culture and dress. It is nothing like Chinese culture and dress. China continues to assert it's dominance over Tibet.
The truth is, now there are more Chinese in the capital city of Lhasa than there are Tibetans. Go there, live there and see for yourself. Then go to MCleod Ganj in Himachal Pradesh. Go to the Tibet House museum. Talk to my Amala/mother. She was 12 years old when the army marched into Chamdo, in Kham. She will tell you the hell she witnessed and lived through. Talk to my friends about the torture they endured and you will understand why every March 10th, Tibetans protest.
The cool thing is, most Tibetans will say that they don't hate Chinese people. In fact, a lot of Chinese people and Taiwanese people support Tibetans and the Dalai Lama.
What Tibetans don't like is the Chinese government.
Has Tibet ever been an independent country?
Yes.
In reality, the current Chinese government suppresses a bunch of evidence that Tibet used to be an empire. It was an Empire for more than 10 centuries until the 1950's or 1900's (no one is sure because China says it always ruled Tibet, then said 1900, but Tibet says 1950's) when the Chinese forces conquered Tibet even though Tibet signed a treaty once with Mongolia stating it was its own country before. Found all of this from Wikipedia, a lot of other documents around the web supports Tibet to used to be a country. The sad part is, my Dad is Chinese, and even he thinks that Tibet was never a country and thought Chinese ruled it all the time. Must've been the government that taught him that, because he was born in China. China sometimes goes overboard with lies and such, and I'm saying this even though I Chinese!!!!!
Where does the relationship between China and Tibet stand today?
Shamefully, Tibet has been militarily occupied by China for many years.
When did China take over Tibet?
In the twelfth century, the Mongol Empire rose to power and expanded aggressively. Sakyapa, or the Stripe sect, was quite powerful among all the sects at that time. The Mongol Emperor negotiated with the abbot of Sakyapa and assisted him to become the ruler of Tibet. From then on, Tibet became an appendage of the Mongol Empire.
In 1254, Kublai Khan granted supreme authority over Tibet to the leader of Sakyapa. Sakya Pandit was appointed to become the imperial preceptor and a high official in his court. Tibet was thus incorporated as one of the 13 provinces of China.

Communist China became the controlling power in Tibet in 1950.
Genocide. They killed off a lot of Tibetans because they want control. They took over land, they killed off lots of Tibetan people, and right now they are killing the nuns, destroying temples, and teaching Tibetan children the Chinese language.
Or: That is a biased opinion up there. And Tibet doesn't even have nuns.
China, for now. But Tibetans are fighting everyday to free Tibet from China's invasion
What kind of government does Tibet have?

Franklin D. Roosevelt Died.Later on, Harry S. Truman became the 33rd United States president.
What territories declared their independence from China following the 1911 Revolution?

Why did China take over Tibet?
Well, China is not the first to conquer Tibet, although the Chinese did occupy Tibet briefly in the 600s. The first people to completely conquer Tibet is the Mongols in the 1200s. But the Mongols in China ended up becoming sinicized (became Chinese) as do almost every other nomadic tribes that conquered China. So they established a Chinese dynasty called the Yuan and Tibet is incorporated to the Mongol Chinese Yuan empire. The Yuan dynasty only lasted 80 years and then a peasant rebellion in China kicked the Mongols back to the Gobi Desert. A new Chinese dynasty(Ming) is established and continued to rule Tibet for the next 300 hundred years. When the Ming dynasty ended in 1644, the Manchus(a former vassal of the Ming emperors) unified China and they also ruled Tibet. So all in all, Tibet was part of the Chinese empire for 800 years. In 1911, the last Chinese dynasty was toppled and a republic was formed. However, a year later civil war begin in the republic as each province of china seceded from the union and ruled in de-facto independence, the ruler of these independence regions was called the Warlords and they fought each other for control of China. During this time, Tibet also had de-facto independence like every other province of China. China went from the warlord era to World War II( against the Japs) and then to the fighting between Communists and the Nationalists( from 1945-1949). The Communists won and unified China( including Tibet) for the first time in 40 years. So depends on what time period you are talking about. Why did the Communists conquer Tibet( well as part of their unification process). Why the Yuan dynasty, MIng dynasty, or the Qing dynasty conquer Tibet( to expand the territory of the Empire)
Why were the Tibetan monks attacked by the Chinese?

One. Well, one at a time. The present Dalai Lama is the 14th. The belief of most Tibetan Buddhists is that there has only ever been one, and each is the rebirth of the one before.
