Tibet

The country of Tibet has an autonomous government that reports to China. Tibet is thought to be a part of China but Tibetans say Tibet is an independent country.

Franklin D. Roosevelt Died.Later on, Harry S. Truman became the 33rd United States president.

Outer Mongolia and Tibet declared their independence from China after 1911.

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)

because they thought tibeten were jealous that they had a better life and they thought it was easy to take over there country

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.

HH Dalai Lama moves around alot. For example, today I believe that he is in Berkeley, CA giving a lecture at the University.

However, he makes his home-base in Dharmsala, India.

His Holiness wears the color of saffron. As a raw plant, saffron is maroon in color, so most of His Holiness' robes are maroon (typical of all Tibetan Buddhist monastics.) When saffron is used as a dye, the color comes out golden, and therefore some of the robes are also golden in color. So from a western perspective, His Holiness and all Tibetan Buddhist monastics wear primarily maroon with some golden cloth. There is also blue piping around the edges of the tongak (vest.) The story of the blue piping is interesting.

just look at the outside of the house, if they do they're will be at least one toy.

No. The Dalai Lama is the head of the Tibetan Government in Exile. He is not even the head of any of the 4 schools of Tibetan Buddhism (Sakya, Gelug, Nyingma, and Kagyu). In fact, the 14th Dalai Lama's political role in Buddhism has cause many problems within Buddhism. He has caused huge divisions in both the Kagyu and Gelug traditions. Search 'Dorje Shugden Controversy' and 'Karmapa Controversy' on Google or click on the related links below to learn more about problems in Tibetan Buddhism created by the 14th Dalai Lama.

The Dalai Lama escaped persecution when China invaded his country, annexing it permanently. His followers begged him to go into exile in a safe country.

The Practice: Spend 5 minutes at the beginning of each day remembering we all want the same things (to be happy and to be loved) and we are all connected to one another. Spend 5 minutes -- breathing in, cherishing yourself; and, breathing out, cherishing others. If you think about people you have difficulty cherishing, extend your cherishing to them anyway. During the day extend that attitude to everyone you meet. Practice cherishing the "simplest" person (clerks, attendants, etc.), as well as the "important" people in your life; cherish the people you love and the people you dislike. Continue this practice no matter what happens or what anyone does to you. These thoughts are very simple, inspiring and helpful. The practice of cherishing can be taken very deep if done wordlessly, allowing yourself to feel the love and appreciation that already exists in your heart. Will you commit to creating Peace in yourself and thereby "On Earth" by spending 10 minutes a day with this simple meditation? Peace on Earth Good Will To All... Not a season, It's a daily practice.

Acc to UN, Basic world media, there is no established GENOCIDE in Tibet (at least with number of deaths). No comparison with Rwanda, Armenia, Bangladesh or even Darfur. Yes, displacement and forced migration is there, including Dalai Lama fled to India.

2.62 million people live in Tibet in 2000.

The current Dalai Lama is His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso, born Lhamo Dhondrub on July 6, 1935 and enthroned on February 22, 1940.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama is currently seeking refuge in India since escaping the Chinese occupation of Tibet. He lives among other Tibetan refugees in a town called Dharamsala.

It increased awareness of China's oppression in Tibet.

The Dalai lama is the spiritual leader of Tibet since it was invaded by the Chinese it was no longer safe for him to live there and still practice his religion. He now travels the world trying to secure freedom for his country.

17th November 1950

The Dalai Lama is the official head of Tibetan Buddhism, and the head of Tibet. Due to Chinese occupation, which began in 1959, the Dalai Lama has been in exile. Tibetan Buddhists believe that the present Dalai Lama is the reincarnation of a Dalai Lama from a past life, who has come back to complete important work.

When Tibet was invaded by China, the Dalai Lama went into exile because he--being the leader of Tibet--was viewed as a threat to Chinese authority. He felt he could better help his country if he was free.
