French Empire- France should not be synonymous with the word “freedom”. As with all colonial empires, its history is soaked with the blood of oppressed peoples across the globe. And its record of perpetrating violence continues. The size of the territory claimed by the French empire in the 19th and 20th centuries was second only to Britain. From North Africa to South-East Asia, the Middle East to the South Pacific, millions were subjugated, repressed and murdered as French rulers scrambled to secure resources and markets for manufactured goods and profitable investments. It was only in the face of heroic mass struggles by the colonised determined to win their independence that France was eventually forced to cede control in the 1950s and ’60s. Ottoman Empire- 'The Ottoman Empire, led by the radical nationalist ‘Young Turks,’ carried out a genocide between 1915-1923. While Armenians were the most affluent and widely persecuted group, perpetrators sought to purge the Ottoman Empire of all Christian minorities. This included Assyrians and Greeks. Scholars estimate that 1.5 million Armenians were slaughtered, but the total death toll is over 2 million people. The term ‘Assyrian’ encompasses the Chaldeans, Nestorians, Syriacs, Arameans, and more. Before 1915, between 500,000 and 600,000 Assyrians lived in the Ottoman Empire. They were persecuted due to anti-Christian hatred and to their history of seeking independence from the Empire. The genocide of the Assyrians was similar to that of the Armenians. Hundreds of thousands of Assyrians were deported to the desert in death marches, during which many died from starvation or disease. Women were raped and enslaved. Many villages or deportation convoys were massacred. Stop with the woke biased 'Bash-the-Brits' agenda!

There would not have been border issues and resulting military conflicts if India had chosen either 1 or 2. Why blame the British on this case??
That's why the British taught a very selective history in the "schools" it allowed to be started in its colonies. And today, it perpetuates this selective history in UK and in books it secretly funds to tell its side of history.
Well, they distorted the fact in Hong Kong school curriculum too that they started the opium wars because they wanted to save China from using that substance. Nobody knew until the pandemic lockdown in 2020 when children had to study online and parents sat beside their children to watch. That is why so many young people in HK didn’t like China because they were fed with this kind of misinformation and distortion
Brits invaded 90% of all countries in the world, committed countless crimes from Ireland to South Africa, from Bengal to Australia etc etc... The most eviI empire in human history.
Have read in the history book when I was young, but sadly, all these have been erased. Hence, the young people of today don't know but listen to the mainstream media narrative. What a shame.
the tibetans defence aga the british invasion of tibet in 1904 also mirrors the british invasions of China in the 2 Opium wars of 1839 and 1859 . The Qing army also fought bravely in vain as they had only spears , arrows n swords. for weapons.vs the british artillery fire. Needless to say they were slaughtered n one Qing general the last man standing in the battlefield slit his own throat with his sword rather than surrender
Anyone travelling to Beijing China must visit the ruin of beautiful Imperial Summer Palace. The palace became a ruin because the British did it. Now the British museum has the most of China’s cultural relics in the world, a whopping number of 20,000 pieces, that doesn’t count the cultural relics still in the hands of British private collectors. The entire world, mostly in the west, has one million pieces of China’s cultural relics. They got them mostly from the illegal paths.
My Canadian province, British Columbia, still suffers because of the enduring legacy of British imperialism where our aboriginal people were victimized just like the Tibetans and other subject peoples in British Empire. In a recent provincial election s candidate referred to our indigenous people as savages. So who were the savages? I wish that all traces of colonialism could be removed from our polity including the names British and Colombia which reek of the exploitation and armed robbery which characterize iimperialism.
Most of your First Nations people have been so brainwashed and stripped of their culture that even their personal names have disappeared. Don't you find it weird that a putative chief of a tribe is called something like Elsie Marie Knott or Corbiere Lavell? 😂😂😂. That's how far it has gone.
The whole problem in Palestina Happened by decisions of the British government, the same the division of Pakistan and India dividing families apart over a border!
"History is written by the victors" - and as the British were the victorious Imperial colonizers of 1/3rd of the world in the 1700s-1800s, they wrote history according to how they want to be regarded and seen. Even the Japanese are today, re-writing their history books to disavow any of their own involvements in WW2 as has Turkiye done to pretend no involvement in the disappearance of the Armenians. And remember - how are continents and countries such as North America and Australia are occupied and ruled by Anglo-Europeans today. They didn't just appear out of nowhere from the ground but originated from the English islands on the other side of the world. If India and China were not as large with a huge population that caused the invaders a case of indigestion in trying to swallow them up, it would not be surprising if the original inhabitants would not be replaced by Anglo-Europeans eventually and made the same as the U.S.A. and Australia is today
The Anglo isn't going to tell you that. They invaded due to a Yak that wondered over the so called line. A fake provocation. It is like the fake Chinese spy balloon. It was a regular weather balloon that became a spy.😁 Also how about the WMD. It was all made up and till today they can't find it. Look up " Bush Jokes About WMD - 2004 Correspondent's Dinner "

The British did the same in the southern part of Africa in the late 19th century. The British gathered "Bushmen" in caves that they shut them up and set fire to the caves; thereby suffocating to death the Bushmen. That is what Europeans do. They are still at it, but nowadays one has to look closely to find out. I did not know about the Tibet events. Thank you for sharing. God have mercy on the Europeans and their American off-spring. Today, even the veneer of civilisation is not able to hide Western powers and societies' violence toward anyone that does not look like them.
The British did the same thing in China five decades earlier. The Opium Wars were started by them against China when, to protect its youth, China banned the import of opium, which commerce was controlled by the British. You can hardly believe that a civilized country could do such things, and yet it was done.
India wants to replace the British empire! When they gained independence in 1947, although we fought them as the British soldiers, we venerated them as our fellow colonized nations. But in 1955 Bandung Conference, Nehru made clear with his forward policy that he did not want to be among us, he wanted to dominate us. That's why we left India alone. That's why even after 70 years, India remains apart from the rest of us in the region.
reclaim what land, the entire tibet? They never had land there in the first place because they inherited it from the british. I'm not sure if I understood your comment.
Thank you for telling history n the truths on the actrocities of the West esp the British. Unfortunately, there are still Tibetians that either don't know their past or don't want to know. Western countries with their DNA believed in domination, actrocities n pilferaging other countries to benefit themselves.
That's in their genetics, and every British settlement, law. Put their wrong doing under the carpet, conviction "take take" mindset and bullying, Projection of blame to others, take credit for good things done by others - sick!

This sheds some light on why China felt justified in invading and annexing Tibet. Had they not, Tibet would have become a western colonial outpost and a bulwark against China's interests and development.
I doubt it is for such political reason, just look at Afghanistan during American occupation, and apply that condition to Tibet during British occupation. The condition of the people is so bad, even Americans are having their hard time dealing with rebels, let alone building an outpost against China or Russia.
Another aspect not mentioned here is that the Dali Lamas were subjugating the Tibetans, using them as slaves, stealing young boys for the temples, pedophilia within the temples, requiring constant tithing that left the people in abject poverty, and were prohibited from schooling of any kind…99% were illiterate.
It was the British that created boundaries all over middle east selecting the royal families/tribe all over the world carving and dividing lands. That is their greatest contribution to the world....the death and destruction of others.
And not even a one single Chinese were there or got killed during that war, Why? That’s because Tibet was independent country. Like imperialist British, China illegally occupied Tibet and did even worse and continue doing it now. I am Tibetan and I feel unfortunate that they didn’t stay there. Had they stayed long enough like they did in their every other colonial countries today we would be free like rest of them. Tibet will be free. Truth will prevail!
Why is it that people blatantly omit the fact that Tibet was apart of the Qing Dynasty and was a constituent to the Qing realm? Britain wanted to undermine Chinese territorial integrity and exploited the fact that Chinese central authority was weak at the time. Tibet was never independent in modern times.

The unresolved India China border dispute is thanks to the British empire. The British expanded the Indian colonial borders and invaded multiple neighboring countries. The sad part is after India gained its independence they have insisted all territories conquered under British rule belongs to India. This explains why India still has unresolved border with Pakistan, China, and Bhutan.

The Western colonial powers continue their oppressive control in the Global South (Africa, Middle East, Latin America, Southeast Asia). Most nations evolve into peaceful and stable countries. But not America, Britain, and European countries like France, Germany, Poland, etc. While China has fought no wars in the last 45 years, the USA and NATO have fought many. While China enjoys domestic harmony and stability, Western countries are in chaos with numerous social problems, collapsing economies, and political turmoil. Most of the world, especially in the Global South, wish to emulate China. China is a model of good governance for the world.
if this historical events was told by a Chinese, nobody would believe it. But if these events were told by a westerner, it's more believable. It's called reluctant testimony. 🦉
Because the criticism is always centered around whether Tibet should be an independent country or should be part of China, so this history is largely irrelevant to that discussion.
Until very recently, China's Foreign Ministry was very reticent. The FM is not very good in "fighting back" against Western propaganda. Could be a problem with the English language. Just look at the Xinjiang problem with extremisms and how the West accuses China of "g" against the people. Many Westerners never saw the documentaries shown on CGTN. Many Westerners also do NOT know about Feudalism in Tibet and how majority of the tibetans was "slaves" to the Dalai Lama.
Imperialism is the highest stage in Capitalism, as Lenin famously stated. That seems more true today than ever. So no, as long as the West remains committed to its primacy in global capitalism, violence and suppression are the only tools that can accomplish that goal. Until the workers of the West gain some class consciousness, we are doomed to continue to inflict this kind of violence to maintain our supremacy and dominance. Many in the West have never seen the reality of our imperialist exploits firsthand. We still benefit in the imperial core from the plundering of wealth from the periphery. Some are waking up and, thanks to videos like this, may one day rise up and end the reign of global capitalism that makes this kind of oppression necessary to continue the plundering of wealth for the sake of profits for the rich. Thank you!
Story this big could be obscured from history? I know the British invaded Tibet in the 1900s as the cause of the China-India border conflict. But I never knew the sheer magnitude of the invasion. Wasn't the narrative the same to Iraq's WMD.
its kinda hidden because just a few years later the chinese revolution occurs. and most history focus on the revolution. it also created administrative complication as the negotiation between Qing dynasty and British empire had to be renegotiated with the Beiyang government representing the republic. which to make things more complicated is different from the KMT government we know today. so the KMT government probably does not have good documentation on Beiyang and Qing affairs.
@@lagrangewei Of course, in 1849 they used the Sikh to invade Tibet and they were completely destroyed by the Qing. It was a complete disaster. In 1936-37, they used Afghanistan king Zahir Shah to support the Uighurs to create ETIM, but the ETIM was completely destroyed by the Tanguts, the Tibetan people in Xinjiang. Even Zahir Shah's personal guards were not spared. The Tanguts displayed their heads on pikes in front of the Grand Mosque of Urumuqi.

The British knew exactly what they were doing in the Tibeten region. Even if they eventually lost control of their colony in India, the borders they enforced will then act as a time bomb for China and India like what we see today.
The Johnson, the McDonald and the McMahon Lines came into being in 1865, 1899 and 1914 respectively. Do you mean the British had planted all those traps at the Sino-Indian border way back then when the British Empire was at its height and had envisioned the lost of India before WWI? India after gaining independent in 1947 could have 1. negotiated bilaterally agreed border lines with China; 2 negotiated border line based on those 3 lines (Johnson, McDonald & McMahon) drew by the British (lines were negotiable); and 3. adopted the Johnson and McMahon and both lines not up for negotiation. There would not have been border issues and resulting military conflicts if India had chosen either 1 or 2. Why blame the British on this case?
@@WongPeter-tx7qq Yes because changing borders for them when they were in control would cost them nothing and would serve the purpose of division in the future if they ever were to lose control.
@@jasonchang8601 "changing borders" - The Johnson and the McDonald covered more or less the same area (whether Aksai Chin within or without India) which is different from the territories the McMahon Line covered. So I don't know what you meant by "changing borders". The British could never have foreseen how WWI had affected GB (everyone thought the war would be a short one) and not to say the rise of imperial Japan and then WWII as early as in 1914. Britain would never have given up India if she wasn't so much weakened after WWII. It is absurd to think that the British thought about one day they would lose the Empire while it was at its height. Do you know how hard they tried to keep Kenya from gaining independence even after WWII? Of course once they knew their time is up then they will do funny things like what they had done to HK after Deng refused to extend the lease on those leased territories in HK.
@@jasonchang8601 "The Chinese never agreed to borders made by the British" - not exactly correct. China proposed in both 1961 and 1962 that she would accept the McMahon Line in general (subject to proper delimitation) in return for India adopting the McDonald rather than the Johnson Line. So the continued disputes was brought about not by those lines but by the India's insistence that the Johnson Line was non-negotiable. If India had chosen to McDonald Line instead then there wouldn't have border issues, at least no war in 1962. You do have to read the fine points sometimes.

An irony was that Qing and ROC had few or no issues with serfdom. The PRC sometimes bragged about ending a 300+ year old institution which of course according to some Tibetan traditionalists, destroyed the basis of Tibet being part of China. According to these traditionalists, Tibet being part of China was based on respecting traditional institutions, which in this context, included serfdom. 🙄🙄
@@tkm238-d4r Historically Tibet was under China’s sovereignty/suzerainty for almost two hundred years. That's a historical fact and what has that to do with whether one respected traditional institutions or not?? Pls let me know which countries had raised the issue of serfdom in Tibet during the time of Qing and ROC? The ROC during its short period of ruling had had its hands full. And Tibet had been semi-independent at that time so you think ROC could have caused changes in Tibet? "Respecting traditional institutions" - it is like drawing equivalent btw repairing a few wooden planks with burning down the entire bridge. What makes you think discarding parts of the "tradition" that have become outdated means disrespecting traditional institutions? PRC encourages girls who graduated from school to join the workforce rather than getting married and settled down at a very young age, do you think such a policy is disrespectful to traditional institutions?
I know that Tibet was very close to China for centuries and hated Indians traditionally. What I could not figure out was their attitude toward China in 1950s. And in 2020s, India is very worried about the increasingly favorable attitude of young Tibetans towards China. It seems that the true history is emerging after a century.
@@shatzcoIndia is the land of Buddha extermination 😅. Buddhism is thriving in China, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Myanmar, the countries that surrounded India, just not India itself. Speaks volume about your statement.
Tibet lies north of India. This explains a lot. It was a very backward place under feudalism back then, and could have easily fallen prey to the British. The farmers were enslaved by the powerful lamas. Virgins were killed and had their skull skins made into ceremonial drums for use in sacrificial ceremonies. Slaves had their skins turned into souvenirs for high ranking visitors to the lamas. Very gruesome then.
It's never true, this fake excuse is always used by ccp to create fake history. As we all know ccp behaviour there is no even human right, freedom of speech but alwys saying we saved n help Tibetan. Bcz they brainwash their PPL since childhood from their text book, news, movies, their own apps, everyday they brainwash so gradually their own most ppl think it's true. Only some elder generations know it's lie and fake but they can't tell these truth to their young genaration bcz for safety otherwise may end up in prison or just disappeare like the great Panchen lama and many others who suffered including recent yrs hundreds of Tibetans self burnt or did self emulation to show the outer world to reveal the fake lie of Ccp
Except ccp some other Tibetan religion haters they also use this fake to attack even they know nothing abt Tibetan Buddhism but out of jealous. In real PPL who has quite understanding of Tibetan Buddhism most ppl won't believe these fake, also from logical thinking and reaserch we can know it's impossible. So it only shows how ignorant n senseless but acting like so clever and wise. So spreading such baseless fake rumour itself is a big sin actually. Bcz they hv nothing and never can show a real prove except just lip service bcz of seeing statue or pictures of wrathful deity or god form. So they misinterprete or misleading.

@@mottscottison6943 Territory is too loose a word to described the China/Tibet relationship as it doesn't distinguish the level of control. A short summary - historically Tibet was under China’s sovereignty/suzerainty for hundreds of years. The levels of control varied in accordance with the strength of the Chinese govt at which particular time period. British India entered the picture in 1904 with the Convention of Lhasa. British India exercised further control on and took territories from Tibet with the Simla Convention and the drawing of the McMahon Line in 1914. In Aug 1947 India inherited GB's distinctive relationship with Tibet but without the muscles. Nehru was reconciled to China’s takeover of Tibet but wanted it to be done peacefully by negotiating with Lhasa. Mao ended the conundrum in late 1950.
❤Arohamai❤ Tibet 😢 We understand what your ancestors went through! The Colonisers put my tūpuna/ancestors threw the same horrific ordeal! ❤ from AOTEAROA New Zealand! 😢😢
If Russia withdraws from Ukraine, China has to quit Tibet for the simple reason both were in the same situation “Occupied nations” period! Remember there was no border between India and China before Mao’s communist occupation of Tibet in 1959. It was Indo-Tibet border. The evidence is that Indo-Tibet border police still exist in India. There is no Indo-China border police. Sorry!
Again it is machine guns versus bow, arrows and spears. But the Tibetans had not learned their lessons. Tibet under China has propered and yet still want to be manipulated by the US/CIA to gain independence. Under the huge economic umbrella of China, Tibetans stand to benefit more than before. High time these Tibetans get up and work hard instead of indulging in prayers only. Truly and sadly locking themselves in the past and expect charity from the world.
Those tibetans who part of separatist movement, majority of them live in exile though. Those who stay are mostly the ex-slaves and the descendants. And they are pro-China because they were liberated and humanised
Have you been there. Best not to rubbish the cake unless you taste it. I have spoken to people who rub ish china. I asked them have you been there. They answer no. How then can you comment. From the media.
China has preserved Buddhism and now has the largest number of Buddhists in the world. Meanwhile, India, which often presents itself as a protector of Buddhism, historically suppressed it, resulting in Buddhists making up less than 1% of its population today. Tibet, under Chinese administration, has become one of the most prosperous regions in Asia, which is why Tibetans are not eager to leave, unlike Palestinians and Syrians who are fleeing Gaza and Syria.
If you look back into the history of most colonial countries, somehow there was a huge financial debt incurred with huge interest which that country couldn't pay back. Then the British crown paid on its behalf and the country had to be ceded over to the empire.
Please take care, what you read, check the source, ask historians. Tibet is under chinese colonial occupation. Chinese people killed 1 milion tibetans 157 burned themselves alive only 3 survived and you can imagine what life looks like. In Tibet are born 4 major rivers that bring the water to most country in central Asia. Tibetans fear more chinese
Welcome to the history of British! I’m a Malaysian, we had our fair share of being colonised by the British in the early 1900s. We’re lucky because our ancestors fought hard to shoo away these imperialists and lucky to have a patriotic PM in the 80s for his famous DAWN RAID where his team managed to bring back our farmers’ rubber plantation lands back to our government which was a HUGE SLAP to the British!

Remember British genocide they committed in Tibet.
French Empire-
France should not be synonymous with the word “freedom”. As with all colonial empires, its history is soaked with the blood of oppressed peoples across the globe. And its record of perpetrating violence continues.
The size of the territory claimed by the French empire in the 19th and 20th centuries was second only to Britain. From North Africa to South-East Asia, the Middle East to the South Pacific, millions were subjugated, repressed and murdered as French rulers scrambled to secure resources and markets for manufactured goods and profitable investments.
It was only in the face of heroic mass struggles by the colonised determined to win their independence that France was eventually forced to cede control in the 1950s and ’60s.
Ottoman Empire-
'The Ottoman Empire, led by the radical nationalist ‘Young Turks,’ carried out a genocide between 1915-1923. While Armenians were the most affluent and widely persecuted group, perpetrators sought to purge the Ottoman Empire of all Christian minorities. This included Assyrians and Greeks. Scholars estimate that 1.5 million Armenians were slaughtered, but the total death toll is over 2 million people.
The term ‘Assyrian’ encompasses the Chaldeans, Nestorians, Syriacs, Arameans, and more. Before 1915, between 500,000 and 600,000 Assyrians lived in the Ottoman Empire. They were persecuted due to anti-Christian hatred and to their history of seeking independence from the Empire.
The genocide of the Assyrians was similar to that of the Armenians. Hundreds of thousands of Assyrians were deported to the desert in death marches, during which many died from starvation or disease. Women were raped and enslaved. Many villages or deportation convoys were massacred.

@@balasubramniansaravanamoor2928 India after gaining independent in 1947 could have 1. negotiated bilaterally agreed border lines with China; 2 negotiated border line based on those 3 lines (Johnson, McDonald & McMahon) drew by the British (lines were negotiable); and 3. adopted the Johnson and McMahon and both lines not up for negotiation. There would not have been border issues and resulting military conflicts if India had chosen either 1 or 2. Why blame the British on this case??
That's why the British taught a very selective history in the "schools" it allowed to be started in its colonies. And today, it perpetuates this selective history in UK and in books it secretly funds to tell its side of history.
Well, they distorted the fact in Hong Kong school curriculum too that they started the opium wars because they wanted to save China from using that substance. Nobody knew until the pandemic lockdown in 2020 when children had to study online and parents sat beside their children to watch. That is why so many young people in HK didn’t like China because they were fed with this kind of misinformation and distortion
Brits invaded 90% of all countries in the world, committed countless crimes from Ireland to South Africa, from Bengal to Australia etc etc...

The depraved looting of Lhasa mirrors the 1860 sacking of the Old Summer Palace by ango-french forces.
Anglo-french. Yuan Ming Yuan. 😢
the tibetans defence aga the british invasion of tibet in 1904 also mirrors the british invasions of China in the 2 Opium wars of 1839 and 1859 . The Qing army also fought bravely in vain as they had only spears , arrows n swords. for weapons.vs the british artillery fire. Needless to say they were slaughtered n one Qing general the last man standing in the battlefield slit his own throat with his sword rather than surrender
Exactly
Anyone travelling to Beijing China must visit the ruin of beautiful Imperial Summer Palace. The palace became a ruin because the British did it. Now the British museum has the most of China’s cultural relics in the world, a whopping number of 20,000 pieces, that doesn’t count the cultural relics still in the hands of British private collectors. The entire world, mostly in the west, has one million pieces of China’s cultural relics. They got them mostly from the illegal paths.
Return the artifacts the British looted.
My Canadian province, British Columbia, still suffers because of the enduring legacy of British imperialism where our aboriginal people were victimized just like the Tibetans and other subject peoples in British Empire. In a recent provincial election s candidate referred to our indigenous people as savages. So who were the savages? I wish that all traces of colonialism could be removed from our polity including the names British and Colombia which reek of the exploitation and armed robbery which characterize iimperialism.
Well said.

Own your own history
Most of your First Nations people have been so brainwashed and stripped of their culture that even their personal names have disappeared. Don't you find it weird that a putative chief of a tribe is called something like Elsie Marie Knott or Corbiere Lavell? 😂😂😂. That's how far it has gone.

The whole problem in Palestina
Happened by decisions of the British government,

Paid by jaws fund raisers - who wanted the Brit to invade Palestn
I was never aware of this part of Tibetan history
"History is written by the victors" - and as the British were the victorious Imperial colonizers of 1/3rd of the world in the 1700s-1800s, they wrote history according to how they want to be regarded and seen.
Even the Japanese are today, re-writing their history books to disavow any of their own involvements in WW2 as has Turkiye done to pretend no involvement in the disappearance of the Armenians.
And remember - how are continents and countries such as North America and Australia are occupied and ruled by Anglo-Europeans today. They didn't just appear out of nowhere from the ground but originated from the English islands on the other side of the world. If India and China were not as large with a huge population that caused the invaders a case of indigestion in trying to swallow them up, it would not be surprising if the original inhabitants would not be replaced by Anglo-Europeans eventually and made the same as the U.S.A. and Australia is today
The Anglo isn't going to tell you that. They invaded due to a Yak that wondered over the so called line. A fake provocation.

LEAVE AND YOU'LL LEAVE TIBET FOR GOOD.
The British did the same in the southern part of Africa in the late 19th century. The British gathered "Bushmen" in caves that they shut them up and set fire to the caves; thereby suffocating to death the Bushmen. That is what Europeans do. They are still at it, but nowadays one has to look closely to find out. I did not know about the Tibet events. Thank you for sharing. God have mercy on the Europeans and their American off-spring. Today, even the veneer of civilisation is not able to hide Western powers and societies' violence toward anyone that does not look like them.
They've killed tons and tons of Indians too, how else they get around to Tibet. These people killed many many around the world lets not forget that.
Just like germans
The west doesn't have any "veneer of civilization".
@@joaquimbelbut4829 ...and way before the Germans. That says something about western countries.
The British did the same thing in China five decades earlier. The Opium Wars were started by them against China when, to protect its youth, China banned the import of opium, which commerce was controlled by the British. You can hardly believe that a civilized country could do such things, and yet it was done.
Now I know why India wants to reclaim the land from the Tibet territory. Sadly the Indians doesn't realize that the British Empire has died in 1945.
India wants to replace the British empire! When they gained independence in 1947, although we fought them as the British soldiers, we venerated them as our fellow colonized nations. But in 1955 Bandung Conference, Nehru made clear with his forward policy that he did not want to be among us, he wanted to dominate us. That's why we left India alone. That's why even after 70 years, India remains apart from the rest of us in the region.
reclaim what land, the entire tibet? They never had land there in the first place because they inherited it from the british. I'm not sure if I understood your comment.
Claim on what basis?
Thank you for telling history n the truths on the actrocities of the West esp the British. Unfortunately, there are still Tibetians that either don't know their past or don't want to know.

This sheds some light on why China felt justified in invading and annexing Tibet. Had they not, Tibet would have become a western colonial outpost and a bulwark against China's interests and development.
I doubt it is for such political reason, just look at Afghanistan during American occupation, and apply that condition to Tibet during British occupation.
The condition of the people is so bad, even Americans are having their hard time dealing with rebels, let alone building an outpost against China or Russia.
Another aspect not mentioned here is that the Dali Lamas were subjugating the Tibetans, using them as slaves, stealing young boys for the temples, pedophilia within the temples, requiring constant tithing that left the people in abject poverty, and were prohibited from schooling of any kind…99% were illiterate.
It was the British that created boundaries all over middle east selecting the royal families/tribe all over the world carving and dividing lands. That is their greatest contribution to the world....the death and destruction of others.
Tibet was prt of China's Ching Dynasty. Of annex is really a western concept
And not even a one single Chinese were there or got killed during that war, Why? That’s because Tibet was independent country. Like imperialist British, China illegally occupied Tibet and did even worse and continue doing it now. I am Tibetan and I feel unfortunate that they didn’t stay there. Had they stayed long enough like they did in their every other colonial countries today we would be free like rest of them. Tibet will be free. Truth will prevail!
Why is it that people blatantly omit the fact that Tibet was apart of the Qing Dynasty and was a constituent to the Qing realm? Britain wanted to undermine Chinese territorial integrity and exploited the fact that Chinese central authority was weak at the time. Tibet was never independent in modern times.
It was in early XX century.

The unresolved India China border dispute is thanks to the British empire. The British expanded the Indian colonial borders and invaded multiple neighboring countries. The sad part is after India gained its independence they have insisted all territories conquered under British rule belongs to India.
This explains why India still has unresolved border with Pakistan, China, and Bhutan.

While China enjoys domestic harmony and stability, Western countries are in chaos with numerous social problems, collapsing economies, and political turmoil.

But if these events were told by a westerner, it's more believable.
It's called reluctant testimony. 🦉
@@greendragonspirit1646 everyday they can make up anything it's much harder to debunk. The truth eventually reveals itself.
Then this channel would be targeted.
Because the criticism is always centered around whether Tibet should be an independent country or should be part of China, so this history is largely irrelevant to that discussion.
Until very recently, China's Foreign Ministry was very reticent. The FM is not very good in "fighting back" against Western propaganda. Could be a problem with the English language. Just look at the Xinjiang problem with extremisms and how the West accuses China of "g" against the people. Many Westerners never saw the documentaries shown on CGTN. Many Westerners also do NOT know about Feudalism in Tibet and how majority of the tibetans was "slaves" to the Dalai Lama.
Very nice video thanks🙏
Imperialism is the highest stage in Capitalism, as Lenin famously stated. That seems more true today than ever. So no, as long as the West remains committed to its primacy in global capitalism, violence and suppression are the only tools that can accomplish that goal. Until the workers of the West gain some class consciousness, we are doomed to continue to inflict this kind of violence to maintain our supremacy and dominance. Many in the West have never seen the reality of our imperialist exploits firsthand. We still benefit in the imperial core from the plundering of wealth from the periphery. Some are waking up and, thanks to videos like this, may one day rise up and end the reign of global capitalism that makes this kind of oppression necessary to continue the plundering of wealth for the sake of profits for the rich. Thank you!

Story this big could be obscured from history? I know the British invaded Tibet in the 1900s as the cause of the China-India border conflict. But I never knew the sheer magnitude of the invasion. Wasn't the narrative the same to Iraq's WMD.
its kinda hidden because just a few years later the chinese revolution occurs. and most history focus on the revolution. it also created administrative complication as the negotiation between Qing dynasty and British empire had to be renegotiated with the Beiyang government representing the republic. which to make things more complicated is different from the KMT government we know today. so the KMT government probably does not have good documentation on Beiyang and Qing affairs.
@@lagrangewei Of course, in 1849 they used the Sikh to invade Tibet and they were completely destroyed by the Qing. It was a complete disaster. In 1936-37, they used Afghanistan king Zahir Shah to support the Uighurs to create ETIM, but the ETIM was completely destroyed by the Tanguts, the Tibetan people in Xinjiang. Even Zahir Shah's personal guards were not spared. The Tanguts displayed their heads on pikes in front of the Grand Mosque of Urumuqi.

The British knew exactly what they were doing in the Tibeten region. Even if they eventually lost control of their colony in India, the borders they enforced will then act as a time bomb for China and India like what we see today.
The Johnson, the McDonald and the McMahon Lines came into being in 1865, 1899 and 1914 respectively. Do you mean the British had planted all those traps at the Sino-Indian border way back then when the British Empire was at its height and had envisioned the lost of India before WWI? India after gaining independent in 1947 could have 1. negotiated bilaterally agreed border lines with China; 2 negotiated border line based on those 3 lines (Johnson, McDonald & McMahon) drew by the British (lines were negotiable); and 3. adopted the Johnson and McMahon and both lines not up for negotiation. There would not have been border issues and resulting military conflicts if India had chosen either 1 or 2. Why blame the British on this case?
@@WongPeter-tx7qq Yes because changing borders for them when they were in control would cost them nothing and would serve the purpose of division in the future if they ever were to lose control.
@@WongPeter-tx7qq The Chinese never agreed to borders made by the British. Hence why they're considered disputed to this day.
@@jasonchang8601 "changing borders" - The Johnson and the McDonald covered more or less the same area (whether Aksai Chin within or without India) which is different from the territories the McMahon Line covered. So I don't know what you meant by "changing borders". The British could never have foreseen how WWI had affected GB (everyone thought the war would be a short one) and not to say the rise of imperial Japan and then WWII as early as in 1914. Britain would never have given up India if she wasn't so much weakened after WWII. It is absurd to think that the British thought about one day they would lose the Empire while it was at its height. Do you know how hard they tried to keep Kenya from gaining independence even after WWII? Of course once they knew their time is up then they will do funny things like what they had done to HK after Deng refused to extend the lease on those leased territories in HK.
@@jasonchang8601 "The Chinese never agreed to borders made by the British" - not exactly correct. China proposed in both 1961 and 1962 that she would accept the McMahon Line in general (subject to proper delimitation) in return for India adopting the McDonald rather than the Johnson Line. So the continued disputes was brought about not by those lines but by the India's insistence that the Johnson Line was non-negotiable. If India had chosen to McDonald Line instead then there wouldn't have border issues, at least no war in 1962. You do have to read the fine points sometimes.

If you can recognise facts such as western evil deeds, you can also recognise in 1903 Tibet is not a country but a territory of Qing Dynasty.
To be exact Tibet at that period of time was not a territory of Qing dynasty but under China suzerainty.
@WongPeter-tx7qq No, Tibet is in Qing's map. They have Governors in Tibet. But you can argue they have great autonomy due to distance and altitude from Beijing. Korea and Vietnam is under Qing's suzerainty, where they are not included in Qing's map and Qing had no governors there.
@@mottscottison6943 Territory is too loose a word to described the China/Tibet relationship as it doesn't distinguish the level of control. A short summary - historically Tibet was under China’s sovereignty/suzerainty for hundreds of years. The levels of control varied in accordance with the strength of the Chinese govt at which particular time period. British India entered the picture in 1904 with the Convention of Lhasa. British India exercised further control on and took territories from Tibet with the Simla Convention and the drawing of the McMahon Line in 1914. In Aug 1947 India inherited GB's distinctive relationship with Tibet but without the muscles. Nehru was reconciled to China’s takeover of Tibet but wanted it to be done peacefully by negotiating with Lhasa. Mao ended the conundrum in late 1950.
Very depressing and makes me angry about the injustices done by Europeans and America.
❤Arohamai❤ Tibet 😢
We understand what your ancestors went through! The Colonisers put my tūpuna/ancestors threw the same horrific ordeal!
❤ from AOTEAROA New Zealand! 😢😢
The Indians were the ones who did the killing of all Tibetans under the instructions of the British.
Very good summary. Thank you.
I dont think the west will change but we can join forces n protect each other
If Russia withdraws from Ukraine, China has to quit Tibet for the simple reason both were in the same situation “Occupied nations” period!
Remember there was no border between India and China before Mao’s communist occupation of Tibet in 1959. It was Indo-Tibet border. The evidence is that Indo-Tibet border police still exist in India. There is no Indo-China border police. Sorry!
Again it is machine guns versus bow, arrows and spears. But the Tibetans had not learned their lessons. Tibet under China has propered and yet still want to be manipulated by the US/CIA to gain independence. Under the huge economic umbrella of China, Tibetans stand to benefit more than before. High time these Tibetans get up and work hard instead of indulging in prayers only. Truly and sadly locking themselves in the past and expect charity from the world.
Those tibetans who part of separatist movement, majority of them live in exile though. Those who stay are mostly the ex-slaves and the descendants. And they are pro-China because they were liberated and humanised
Have you been there. Best not to rubbish the cake unless you taste it. I have spoken to people who rub ish china. I asked them have you been there. They answer no. How then can you comment. From the media.
I did not know about this part of Tibetan history.
Bayonet to Lhasa - by Peter Flaming A book written by Ian Flaming's brother talk about that too, don't miss.
Thank you for this video!
China has preserved Buddhism and now has the largest number of Buddhists in the world. Meanwhile, India, which often presents itself as a protector of Buddhism, historically suppressed it, resulting in Buddhists making up less than 1% of its population today. Tibet, under Chinese administration, has become one of the most prosperous regions in Asia, which is why Tibetans are not eager to leave, unlike Palestinians and Syrians who are fleeing Gaza and Syria.
Palestinians are not fleeing
Gaza as its border is shut 💀
Japan is a Buddhist stronghold.
As a buddhist, it's astounding for me when I learn about the fact there are close to no Buddhists in the homeland of Buddhism.
Thank you to letting this portion of the history known to all😭
If you look back into the history of most colonial countries, somehow there was a huge financial debt incurred with huge interest which that country couldn't pay back. Then the British crown paid on its behalf and the country had to be ceded over to the empire.
Please take care, what you read, check the source, ask historians. Tibet is under chinese colonial occupation. Chinese people killed 1 milion tibetans 157 burned themselves alive only 3 survived and you can imagine what life looks like. In Tibet are born 4 major rivers that bring the water to most country in central Asia. Tibetans fear more chinese
Welcome to the history of British! I’m a Malaysian, we had our fair share of being colonised by the British in the early 1900s. We’re lucky because our ancestors fought hard to shoo away these imperialists and lucky to have a patriotic PM in the 80s for his famous DAWN RAID where his team managed to bring back our farmers’ rubber plantation lands back to our government which was a HUGE SLAP to the British! Then, our PM’s BUY BRITISH LAST policy gave them another whip! I’m THANKFUL!😮
Malays fought against the British... Don't seem so according to factual history....
@ history can be altered as how they did with ours
In the 1950s, there were more than 2700 temples in Tibet, and now there are more than 3800. Please do not provide incorrect data
This was what the British did to the Tibetans? But it's all good now that they are no longer under any oppression? Thank you for exposing them this Western nations are just doing the most.
The Indians helped them and took part in the massacres.
Make some videos on Anglo-Burmese Wars also, where gold and precious stones was shamelessly looted from the Mandalay Palace.
Noted .
Thanks for making me aware of this shame.
English bar ba rians
Tibet is never part of china . Chinese illégal ocupy Tibet . But never ever be part of china . 100 percent we are not same . Save Tibet .
There's a burial ground west of Shigatze where those Chinese Qing troops who arrived in 1904 to force back the British invasion and died are buried. I also think the West should correctly calls mountain Qomalangma it's rightful name, not that of a pathetic colonial surveyor Everest
Dalai lama very very quiey on this ...ah... He's been bought by cia long time ago
Invasion based on a non-existent threat. Where have I heard that before?
