Background of Tibet Country

Bismillahirrahmaniram..

According to Tim Lambert (2012)The earliest inhabitants of Tibet were a pastoral people. They herded goats, cattle and sheep. By 100 BC people in Tibet learned to irrigate the land and grew rice and barley as well as raising herds of livestock. In the 6th century AD Tibet was divided into different kingdoms but early in the 7th century AD Tibet became a single, unified state".

China attacked Tibet in 1950. Its occupation has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Tibetans and the imprisonment and torture of thousands more. After a failed uprising against Chinese rule in 1959, Tibet’s political and spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, escaped into exile in India followed by tens of thousands of Tibetans. Inside its restrictions and through the world, Tibetans have never stopped believing Tibet is a country with a nation. Since 1959, they have continued to oppose and resist China's rule and China has responded with powerful repression.

The advantages and disadvantages of the high plateau known as Tibet are identical. The place is extremely is because it hard to reach. other than that Tibet is hemmed in on the south by the Himalayas and on the north by the almost equally high Kunlun mountains. The terrain is inhospitable, the plateau itself being about 15,000 feet above sea level. The climate is harsh with violent swings of temperature between night and day at all times of the year. The disadvantage of Tibet is that only a few people can live here. This is because until modern times it has been impossible for outsiders to arrive in sufficient force to subdue the inhabitants for long.

According to the Tibet Travel portal, "Tibet Autonomous Region is located in the southwest of China, with a land area of 1.22 million square kilometers (the second largest region of China), bordering Xinjiang Region and Qinghai Province to the north, Sichuan and Yunnan to the east, India, Nepal, Sikkim, and Burma to the south". That is why Tibetan share the same language with the Burma and Myanmar.
