History of Tibet

As early as in the late Paleolithic Age, people were found here. In the seventh century, King Songtsan Gambo united Tibet and established the Tubo Kingdom. In the 13th century, Tibet became an administrative area under the Yuan Dynasty. In the 17th century, the 5th Dalai Lama established the Kadam Potrang government. The Qing government accepted this local government and sent his envoy to the region. After the revolution of 1911, the Republican government established a representative office in Tibet in order to strengthen its management of the local government. After the founding of the Peoples' Republic of China in 1949, the Tibet Autonomous Region was founded on September 1, 1965.
