Question

Write a note on the Relation of the British with the state in Asia.

Tibet

Short Note

Solution

Tibet was under the influence of the Dalai Lama. The British wanted to have a hold on Tibet for arresting Russian advances and to increase their own trade. During Lord Curzon’s times, the British military had reached ‘Lhasa’, the capital city of Tibet. In 1907, as per the treaty between England and Russia, the political rule of China in Tibet was principally acknowledged. It gave leeway to China to claim Tibet as an integral part of China.
