Tibet (summer 2005) - The invasion of Tibet by troops from the People's Liberation Army in 1949-51 is described in official Chinese history as a "peaceful liberation". A 17-points agreement was signed between the Communist Government and the Tibetan officials in May 1951, which apparently "enjoyed the approval and support of the people from every ethnic group in Tibet". In fact, discrimination and suppression of traditional practices in eastern Tibet drove hundreds of Tibetans up into the mountains to conduct guerrilla warfare, while thousands more fled west to Lhasa to escape Chinese persecution.
In March 1959, growing Tibetan resistance exploded in an uprising against the Chinese occupation. The 14th Dalai Lama fled into exile in northern India, and the subsequent Chinese crackdown in Tibet was brutal. Even the figures from the Chinese Government record 87,000 deaths in the National Uprising and its aftermath. Being said that, this gallery will not focus on politics but on the wonderful geographical environment and people of Tibet.
