What year did China invade Tibet?
Aug 7, 2009
Most people believe that China didn’t “invade” Tibet per se. That being said if an invasion date were to be found it would be 1949-1950 and an occupation date would be 1951, only two years after the Peoples Republic of China was established. During this time China gathered up numerous tracts of land, regardless of the indigenous population such as in Tibet. In China’s defense, Tibet had been part of numerous dynasties which were “china-based” so in many ways this can be considered a re-occupation.
