- The Birth of the Myth of " Tibetan Indepandence"
Preface: The myth of "Tibetan independence," which evolved during the late 19th century, is actuallythe product of the imperialist invasion of China, with the British invaders in Tibet as the chief architects.
First British Invasion: In the 1860s, the British invaders in Sikkim started to build roads and bridges leading to Tibet.
They also sent recruited vagrants across Rina by the Tibet-Sikkim border to Mount Lungdo to explore paths.
Second British Invasion: From 1894 to 1902, Britain repeatedly forced the Qing court to pressure the Tibetan government and the 13th Dalai Lama to implement the unequal treaties. The local government of Tibet and the 13th Dalai Lama, however, refused to do so.
British Move to Cultivate Pro-British Forces in Tibet: After the two aggressive wars, Britain found that Tibet could not be subdued by military force. It changed tactics by cultivating pro-British elements in the upper echelon of the ruling class in Tibet, with a view to controlling Tibet.
