@@PatriotMapper That's makes completely jo sense that would make any ethnic Chinese group a part of a different nation. I'm a min Chinese one of the major 7 and we don't consider ourselves a nation.
As a Chinese, I say this is one of the best Tibet explained in English. Tibet is a little bit like Scotland, a nation but not a country, British want Tibet to be free but refuse to accept Scotland independence. In the name of freedom and democracy, British can do whatever they want. As one of those so called war wolf Chinese boy, I want my government to announce loudly: we support Scotland freedom, and we will defend Scotland freedom with force, all for freedom and democracy. I love these bullshit slogans. Don’t get me wrong, freedom and democracy are great things, unless someone use them as weapons to attack and invade. Please stop hurting innocent in the name of freedom and democracy.
@@abbotsful Referendum? In Scotland? Same as the Catalan referendum in Spain? I recall 92% voted yes and Spanish government just ignored it. Referendum is a joke, even if it passes, the queen would claim it as unconstitutional. Referendum only works when the result satisfying the government, otherwise it is fantasy. Great but useless. U.S. is an example, people can only choose either Biden or Trump, yes Americans can choose, but whichever they vote for, US government is satisfied. If Chinese chairman has 2 son, he will play democracy game one day: all Chinese can vote for the next chairman: his elder son or younger son, or himself to serve longer. See, we have 3 options, when American has 2. Which will make China more democracy than US. I believe democracy is great, useless but great. You may say: we have this great thing called referendum , you don’t, it is useless, but at least we have it. Good for you.

As the saying goes though, two wrongs don't make a WESTERN LIE.
I am from Nepal and I do not think Tibet ever ruled Nepal thru a marriage (or by many other means). It is true, however, that a princess of Nepal, named Bhrikuti, married a king in Tibet and with herself brought Buddhism to Tibet from Nepal.
True, in Fact Tibet was actually a part of Nepal at some point in History. Also, India, Pakistan, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, as far as the entire continent of Asia was actually Nepal. Go ask your Prime Minister Mr. KP Oli.
im sure Republic of China claims china proper (ofc), tibet, xinjiang, mongolia (both inner and outer), and manchuria (including outer, which is controlled by russia)
One thing I have to say, literally Taiwan has pretty much similar culture, language and history like China , they used to be a part of China, until the conflict of Communist Party and Kuomingtang, for some reasons, some group of Taiwanese wants to be independent, however, another group of them wants to go back to China or keep their current situation until now, I've heard a lot of Taiwanese, they claimed that they are originally Chinese, I'm NOT joking, they believe they are Chinese, so, it is kind of a complex topic to deny which of group is right or wrong, same way as Tibet, but now most people think Tibet is part of China, as same as Xingjiang, and Inner Mongolia.
Modern Mongolia is only so small because that's the portion that broke free went communist rather than joining the original ROC in 1911 when the Qing dynasty's rule ended. More mongolians live in China than in Mongolia by far.
The bigger question is, if western definition of "country" applies to Tibet, or even China as a whole? China being a multi-ethnic country, has many ethnic groups with unique cultures and religions, inhabiting in certain regions of China. Allowing Tibet to break out, is the starting point of dismantling China. Multi ethnicity/culture/religion is not unique to China, many other countries should be torn apart: United Kingdom does not make sense, India is an obvious victim and Native Americans/Australians/Canadians deserves their own government within the respective territories.
Honestly as a ethics minority of china, china need to stop being greedy and let those ethics people have their own country. They have their own religion, culture, language and people.
Right like majority they r talking sht bout han people. Yet they say Chinese cuz when they hate n all that they r hating the other 55 ethnic groups as well bc they r also Chinese
This was a surprisingly succinct and accurate video of the history of Tibet. As a Tibetan, I'd like to say kudos on this video. You really laid out the facts objectively. p.s. Qing is pronounced Ching not King.
That’s so good to hear! I was worried about how this would be received. Initially I included a lot more history but the video got way too long. Also I realized afterwards that I mispronounced Qing, reading a whole script is hard somethings :P thanks for watching!
@@eviltoms Nepal invaded Tibet during the Qing Dynasty. Tibet looked to Beijing for help and the Qing Dynasty warded off the Gorkha / Gurkha invaders. Still can't believe that the Qing Chinese managed to defeat battle hardened Gurkhas!
It might have been worthwhile to mention how many important rivers in Asia begin in the Tibetan plateau making control of the region far more strategically essential to the nations in the regions than the presence of valuable minerals would suggest.
It might have been worthwhile to mention tibetan have been living under serfdom for thousands of years till CCP liberated them in 1951. Maybe those westerners yelling free tibet would augue that it's their free will to live as serfs.
In the Qing Dynasty, there were Qing outposts and troops stationed on the border between Tibet and India You tell me that Tibet is ruled by the Dalai Lama??China first officially ruled Tibet in the Yuan Dynasty. Later, became a tributary state in Ming dynasty. Later, the Qing Dynasty regained it.
Well to be as neutral as I can, Tibet has been like a colony of Qing since about 300 years ago. They placed a general there that had higher power than the lama kings. Kinda like how India was a country but still under British raj's rule. When the Qing crumbled in 1911, the republic (ROC) replacing it didn't have enough power and attention to keep Tibet under occupation, so it sorta became functionally independent. But ROC still claimed to have sovereignty over it, and because ROC was a western ally, nobody would recognize Tibet as independent from China. And what happened after PRC you are all familiar with. So I think the Hawaii comparison is actually pretty good. If the Hawaiian royalty were still around and took refuge in another country, and the US was suppressing Hawaiian's freedom of religion, you would see people carrying Free Hawaii flags around too. So the real problem is not whether China is the "legitimate" owner of Tibet, but whether they treat the Tibetans nicely.
The most non-biased comment here. At least you're not an obnoxious pro-Tibet person. They are illiterate with history. Even when Tibet claimed to be independent, it is debatable on how much of a country it really was. Considering that it lacked recognition. Just as you mentioned, the ROC still claimed it. The League of Nations also recognized it as apart of China. That doesn't mean what China is doing to Tibetans is right still. Nor does it justify what actions China has done to Tibet. While the PRC has a very harsh relationship with Tibet, the ROC's relationship wasn't much peaceful either. They went to war two times with Tibet. But the ROC didn't take extreme meassures on Tibet or Tibetans. Anyway, well said.
I couldn't have said it better myself. The only thing I'd add is that the more people advocate for Tibetan independence, the harder it's going to be on the people living in Tibet. There's no realistic chance of independence in the near future but the insecurity that independence sentiment fosters leads to distrust and oppression by the authorities regarding the people.
@@alanfriesen9837 There is no way the Tibetans can get independence, if China step out due to some magical event, India would step in. Their population is too low, they have virtually zero industry to defend themselves, and they're sitting on a place that is the origin of all the rivers that provide water for 40% of the world's population.
@@u06jo3vmp While I also agree that Tibet isn't going to get independence though I don't think it's because of a threat from India. Those mountains are a hell of a barrier and I don't think India has the capacity to project power through them. An independent Tibet would definitely be under constant pressure from India, China, Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Cambodia and Vietnam regarding water supplies but the only one of those countries that could sustain a presence in Tibet is the one that's already there.
This video ignores the slavery and cruel punishments that existed in Tibet in the 1950s (including amputation and the trade of human skin and bones). Those who are interested can take a look at the laws under the rule of the Tibetan Buddhist government at that time. To the monks and nobles at the time, the People’s Liberation Army might be the enemy, but to the slaves it might be the opposite.
Tibet was a nation in the history. and in fact many of you don't know, Tibet was a threat to the Xin Jiang, and other regions to the middle earth. There was a powerful empire called Tangut empire that ruled Tibet and part of Xin Jiang. During Tang and Song Dynasty, Tangut kept on invading the Tang and Song, and in fact Tang and Song was the side that being invaded and tried to counter attack. This is due to the lack of natural resources in Tibet. Tea is essential. Tea is so important in the daily lives of a Tibetan, because there are not much vegetables you can consume in Tibet, Tibetan people eat beef and drink milk, and vegetable is very rare food for them, even until now, fruits and vegetables are still expensive in Tibet, but of course way better than it was in the past. And Tea can be stored for a long time and it produces crucial nutrients for health, that is why the Tibetan Tangut Empire attempted so many times to invade Tang and Song, because they need tea farms. The wars between the Tang Song Dynasty against the Tibetan Tangut, was easy on the plain, but when it comes to counter attack on the Tangut empires cities, it is difficult due to the altitude sickness, people from the eastern part of China cant handle this when they enter Tibet. and thats what made Tibetan Tangut always a threat that is so difficult to get rid of. and in fact the Tang and Song had no interest for Tibetan lands because they are agricultural nations and it is the Tibet area is not suitable for agricultural economy. But Mongolian eventually destroyed the Tibetan Tangut Empire, and was ruled directly as a province, then the Ming Dynasty replaced the Mongol empire, the Tibet also surrendered to the Ming, but Ming never rule Tibet directly, so it basically remain politically isolated but not economically , the leading body in Tibet acknowledged the Ming emperor as their emperor, else Ming will cut off their tribute relations and the tradings, which is crucial to the Tibetan' survival. (in the tribute system, the tribute state actually earns more than the side who receive the tributes, because the emperor must rewards them more silks, teas, and porcelains in return, thats why many neightbouring nations actually volunteerily to be a tribunal state of China. Then Qing dynasty came, they sent officers to rule Tibet together with the monks, because the Qing dynasty realized the ambitions of British from the another side of Himalayas. The british wants to take over the Tibet. and even after Qing, the threat is not over, but the enemy changed from the brits to the indians. President Nehru's forward policy is too dangerous, India conquered many small and weak nations and they targeted Tibet. and the conflict between China and India still continues today. its all started with the McMahon line, the brits simply drew a line on the map and claimed it was the border line because their army can reach there.
You;'re wrong, the Tanguts were a qiangic tribe,plus they only rebelled against Song in 986, although they had established control over Northern Shaanxi since the late 800s. They never controlled Xinjiang, only half of Gansu, Ningxia, and what is now parts of Inner Mongolia
China will never let Tibet secede if it can help it. All of China’s freshwater flows from there. Its a national security concern. It’s vertical integration.
that is why tibet needs to grab its destiny and see freedom of its former independent glorious history. vietnam has done it, and perhaps taiwan should also start shaping up... perhaps even manchuria and uyghuristan should stop getting itself be displaced and acculturated. even mongol areas... but alas prc is like ottoman kebab of old
xXxSkyViperxXx maybe if China collapses. But I think that independence will be short lived. Geography penned them in with a vastly more powerful and populous people who will always want to conquer them.
xXxSkyViperxXx and it was repeatedly invaded then subjugated. And if China doesn’t manage it India will. You’re a strategically important region bordering almost 3 billion people but you have basically 0 gdp. Bad place to be.

Is Tibet a country? Yes, it was! Is Crimea a country? Yes, it was! Is Kosova a country? No, it never was :( So it isn't about whether something is right or wrong, it's about whether it fits US or not :P
Manchuria, Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Tibet were the administrative district called Amban under Qing. Other regions are called Provinces and Banner. Dalai Lama as a principality controls the northern Tibet, whereas Panchen Lama and his court controlled the southern part. Both are subordinated to the Ambon governor. After dynasty collapsed, 13th Dalai Lama usurped 9th Panchen Lama’s court and fiefdom, and forced him into exile. After kicking out Panchen and Republic Amban, Dalai Lama become sole ruler of Tibet Amban. Current Dalai Lama claims another Amban Qinghai/Amdo which was established by Qing in 1725.
The Chinese Nation was that which was inside the Great wall. You are confusing Mongolian, Tibetan and Uyghur "Barbarian" lands as yours. Sun Wu Kong's Journey to the East mentions these lands, Clearly this is not China. Even in the story it is mentioned as "Foreign Lands".
Interesting, India used to be bigger than today as well, but now....why nobody make a video for them, or other disputed countries, but always love focusing on China, because their size? or just don't like them? racist?
Nepal was not under tibet in any time period of history. Tsongten Gampo married to daughter of king of Nepal Bhrikuti and she was the one who spread buddhism in tibet. This has been taught in schools of Nepal since many generations. Maybe you should dig out more information about it.
Nischal Kattel just coz they teach that propaganda in Nepal’s school to praise their own, it doesn’t make it a fact. You really think people who live in northern parts of the Nepal are Nepali? They are actually Tibetan descendants. Get your facts right!
And where have i said they are not tibetan descendants. It doesnt matter if they are tibetan descendants or chinese descendants. If they have Nepalese citizenship, they are Nepali.
In school we were taught that reason for the marriage is for keeping good relationship between nation. But we were not taught that Bhrikuti flourish Buddhism in Tibet. That time there is Buddhism already in Tibet. It was padmasambava who had made wide flourish of Buddhism in Tibet.
According to his definition, American should pack their bags and go back to Europe, cause the land of called America today belongs to the native Indian. While we here, please remember the "Thanksgiving day" the day when European explorer arrived exhausted from their exploration ship, the native Indian treated them with foods, fresh water and shelter; while the European occupier after exploration the land, found gold and silver and fur commodities, replied to the native Indian with kindness, yup with bullets, massacre and genocide driving them to the east coast. Also we forget, killing all the wild bison deprive the native Indian of food source and salted their land so corn and potato hardly grow
In 2019,the Tibetan population was 6 282 187,the Uighur population was 10 069 346. If Tibet and Xinjiang are in the west of US, the Tibetans and Uighur are almost extinct.

Yes, eastern part of India was Tibetan one day. but we all people on earth are homosapiens (human being).this is only human species on earth live today
I've been to Sikkim and its beautiful, People who are not from India needs to understand one basis point that India is a pluralistic society which gives freedom. Sikhism was born here so was buddhism and jainism so India is land of culture and freedom. Those who talk about Kashmir should understand that Kashmir was given its autonomy but then we have a bad neighbour Pakistan which believes in religion above everything. If India would have thought that in the past there would have been no other religions in India which were branched from hinduism like sikhism and jainism.
@LonelyMan Rabby I'm bengali and i can say sikkim has nothing to do with bengal. It has been a mountain kingdom which chose to become part of India. Bengalis need to stop trying to appropriate everything. They have their fair share to brag about. Underplaying their neighbors won't do a thing to elevate them.
Native Americans should also be accounted for as a country. Territory check, Descent check, History Check, Culture check. So Native Americans definitely should build their own country. Nation Check.
By your definitions of what a country should be, half the nations in the world could split up. Many have pockets of people who are distinctly different from the majority. There are not many countries that are completely homogenous
The Nepali princess Bhrikuti is called GreenTara and the Chinese princess WenChin as WhiteTara. These two ladies are worshipped as goddess consort. They brought Buddhism to Tibet.
Pabin Gurung you're right, modern Nepal as in Nepal with the political boundaries of today didn't exist then. But the name 'Nepal' has been around for much much longer than just the past 200 or so years since the country's formation. Some scholars say it's derived from a kirat word and others have other theories. When Prithvi Narayan Shah invaded Kathmandu valley, the valley was referred to as Nepal, which is why Newari is known as Nepal bhasa(Nepali is a different language). Also why the king's army were called Gorkhalis and not Nepalis at the time. Regardless, when people think of Chinese and Nepalese, they think of today's China and Nepal. China(as a country) didn't have the same territory as it does today in all of its history either so the same logic can be applied to Nepal too. The kingdom Bhrikuti was from might not have been called Nepal but China's name is a fairly recent one too(came from the Qing dynasty). Either way, what is of importance is what kind of influence they had on the ruler of Tibet, Princess Bhrikuti introduced Indo-Nepali culture while Princess WenCheng introduced Chinese culture to the ruler and the Kingdom.
The Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama ruled Tibet, and the emperor ruled the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama. It was originally a very simple matter. Tibet is an autonomous province of China， for 700 years. The British invaded Tibet from India, and the weakness of the Qing empire complicated the situation, and China's communism and the Cold War made the situation even more complicated. Tibet will not be completely independent from China, and China will not allow Tibet to become independent. Tibet cannot be without the economic support of mainland China, and China cannot be dragged away from the control of the source of the two mother rivers. Tibet's independence will only plunge Tibet and mainland China into unprecedented disasters. The 14th Dalai Lama knew it very well.
You are a shameless liar.China's Qing Empire invaded and illegally militarily occupied Tibet in 1725, when there was no British threat whatsoever. When the Qing Empire collapsed, the Tibetans seized the opportunity and immediately declared their restoration. However the new Chinese regime still tried to re-annex it. Then we have the communist invasion in 1950. As a Chinese, I don't recognize China's sovereignty towards Tibet, and would never.
When the words like "invade" and "conquer" and "perpetrated atrocities" are included in a description, I kinda have to conclude- Yeah, it was a nation.
but from Tang dynasty, the ruler of Tibet has recognized as a vassal state of China until Qing dynasty,especially in QING, the Dalai Rama must obtain the edict from the Qing emperor or it is illegal .and in the period of Republic of China, because of the early civil war and the late Japanese invade war and the civil war between nationalist party and communist party, the Tibet got chance to not comply with the rule in thousand years. So, the new gov of China is just make Tibet do the thing he should do.
@@montieluckett7036 but it has more than 1300 years..., and in Qing, it has actually become a part of China, the Qing emperor also would send a minister to control the real power.., dalai rama just be a symbol....

He gave the recommendation to talk to someone from Tibet, which I think is absolutely the right thing to do. However, one thing to keep in mind is that unless you are going to China, most Tibetans you meet outside of China are part of a very small minority, and much of that demographic left Tibet due to reasons that often put them in contention with the CCP. 94% of Tibetans are not outside of Tibet. As far as I know, there is no reliable poll to show what Tibetans actually think. I once stayed with a family in Tibet for a few weeks. Interesting that AtlasPro mentioned that you could get arrested for a portrait of the Dalai Lama because that is exactly what this family had up in their main room. We mostly talked about everyday things. I learned how to make yogurt and had the best lamb I've ever eaten. But we also sometimes talked about more interesting topics. They told me about how the kids of the town engage in ethnic group based brawls (this was a town in north Tibet where there were sizeable Hui and Han populations), they told me stories of PLA mass executions. But they also told me that they know that their lives are way better now than they would have been if the CCP hadn't taken over, given their status, and that they know their history. I know this is super anecdotal but I really do wonder what the actual public opinion within Tibet really is.
This sounds absolutely horrible. Which kind of heartless people accept mass executions and ethnic brawls for a bit more money? I'd rather live without electricity and running water, but in freedon and peace. Same with the Dalai Lama, he is an oxymoron.
The thing people gloss over is that the average Tibetans don't care about being independent. It's just not important to them. The people who want independence are mainly Lamas who missed their days of glory and want to treat the average Tibetans as serfs. Tibet was a hellhole before the CCP took over.
Tibet is a nation, it is not a country however. Those are two very different things! A nation has its own culture, history and language but it does not have to be an independent entity. A country in the other hand, is an independent entity.
The most important point missed in video is that all Dalai Lamas have to be approved by the central government of China, which has been the case for hundreds of years。reference resources：en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Urn

Dalai Lama never mention Tibet should be part of China. He stated that he is willing to seek autonomous Tibet with condition that Tibet was an independent country.
Autonomous from which country? China? India? You are either autonomous or not part of a country. If your hero, who shamefully given away Tawang, thinks that Tibet should be autonomous, this means he thinks that Tibet is not an independent country!

Tibet was also a theocratic state that allowed Slavery with 10% noble class owned literally 100% of the land. They also practiced human sacrifice, peeled human skins and used human bones to make religious instrument. There are still plenty out there you can find and documented in books with pictures.

@Bhum Brahmavira I believe India, Nepal and Tibet share the same mother. Here, in India, we consider them as our brothers. We have a rich culture and beliefs in each other. Talking about border disputes, that's nothing in front of our similarities. More or less, we have one of the greatest open borders so those borders are just of a namesake. Political disputes do not make anyone enemy. That's same as two brothers. They sometimes quarrel but nevertheless, they are brothers. I appreciate your answer and concern. And, as an Indian, I'm really sorry for any unrest between our countries. I know this is only a matter of time, I've too read a lot about "a part of" Chinese creating discomfort for the people not just in India but in Nepal and Tibet too tho China is a great country that shares a lot from us. I hope we all stand together soon.
@cITRIC ACId china helped the communist party of nepal when it was in the brink of collapse. thats why the nepalese govt has become a tool for xi jing ping to use. some private schools in nepal have started teaching mandarin and china pays for it.. nepal is going to be next tibet since it falls under china's 5 sister territory.
Songtsen Gampo never occupied Nepal. Nepal's king at that time, Anshuverma, married his daughter, Bhrikuti, to Songtsen Gampo. And kept his army out of Nepal. Bhrikuti is the reason Buddhism spread in Tibet. Edit- At least thats what we were taught in school.
Nepali princess Queen Bhrikuti's son was the crown prince who unfortunately died young. So, by default Chinese princess WenChin's son became the king after SrongTson Gampo. Thus Tibet became closer to north-east than south-west. Otherwise history would have been different.
Nepal has a long history of relationship with tibet and was never part of china, nepalese student even have history lesson in social studies subject about the marriage of a nepalese princess with the king of Tibet..

It used to be a country (kind of, sort of), but never ever a republic. It was a horrible land where more than 90% of the people enslaved by the lamas (yes Dalai Lama being the highest ranked lama). When people in other part of the world were riding horses, the lamas in independent Tibet were riding slaved humans (ordinary Tibetan men). And more ordinary Tibetan people (mostly young and favoured physique) were killed for their body parts (skins, bones etc) to be made into religious items or art pieces by the lamas. It was simply a hell on earth.
Tibet is part of China, simple question. Why? In Qing dynasty( about 300 years ago), The emperor already had very strong control on Tibet and The emperor built TWO large palaces in Chengde city, Hebei province for the leaders in Tibet, if you dont believe, google The Putuo Zongcheng Temple in Chengde city . How sad that some people know nothing about Tibet and make rumors spread.
I have heard stories of Tibet, and my garo ancestors are believed to have migrated from Tibet to India, other than that I didn't know anything about Tibet, it is interesting to know about Tibet.
The google definition makes Texas a country (as well as Vermont and Alaska), Texas has a history different from every other state, has its own state government and has a defined territory.
Texas is, to a degree, a country. State is synonymous with country, and the “United States” is a strategic union of what would be individual countries.
If by that definition, "Texas is a country," then Tibet would be a country too. Because the Tibetan Autonomous Region has its own government with its capital in Lhasa. But we all know that neither Texas nor Tibet is a country, so therefore the definition of a country must include not just any governance, but _independent_ governance.
Nation, not county. There's nothing wrong with that definition, it's cool to view on a map of like cool cultures around the world but it just becomes arbitrary. While Arizona is a nation, so is the Navajo Nation, way more even. But the American southwest also is a nation that's part of the Mexican homeland.
@@daltonmiller5590 all those words have multiple meanings tho. While for most people, "country" means like those governments that are independent and stuff, it's not the case for the UK where Scotland is a country while not being independent at all. But honestly what's even the meaning of "independent and stuff"? There's a word for that, it's sovereign state, but it's not as common. Though sovereign states are in the UN. But how sovereign do you even have to be? Some entities have a lot of autonomy but aren't un the UN. The country of Micronesia and Niue have similar statuses but one is in the UN and not the other. But what other words are used for sovereign states? Just "state" (the state of israel lol). But as you can see in the US, its territorial divisions are also called states despite by far not being independent.
@@gamermapper This is why I really dislike the UK using "countries" as the correct term to refer to their subdivisions within the United Kingdom. I'm 99% positive that no other soveirgn country in the world uses the word "country" to refer to their subdivisions. We have words like "provinces," "states," "territories," "departments," and even the French "regions." These are words to solely refer to subdivisions within a country. Hell, you could even just call them "subdivisions." The UK using the word "country" for their subdivisions muddles the very definition of country. Scotland is not independent (not yet at least lmao). Neither is Wales, or Northern Ireland. I don't care if it's tradition to refer to them as such. The historical era of Welsh/Scottish independence was over centuries ago. They aren't countries anymore by global definition. The UK should give it up and just start using "provinces" or something. Scottish pride will heal.
One clear fact is that Tibet has been a country for much of history. In China, the Communist Party teaches Chinese people that Tibet (along with other regions such as Xinjiang) has been a part of China for thousands of years. That’s an enormous lie. The Communists are not honest about the fact that Tibet and these other territories were originally other countries, which were much later conquered by China.
@am c why are you glorifying a country annexing other nations on a platform your platform outright banned and requires you to use a VPN to even access? like i understand nationalism, but this is on the level of saying europe controlling 90% of the planet was a good thing (since colonialism is just annexing a lot of territory into autonomous regions), this is a direct infringement of the right to self determinism. if you want to love your nation then that's fine, i'm proud to be british despite condemning the famines and autrocities in their past and shitty leadership now, and that's because i've learnt to seperate government from state, china has always been powerful due to the people in there, to such a point that overthrowing dynasties from expired holy mandates was the norm. the neo-communist government has broken the "holy mandate" by oppressing the Uyghurs in the same way the nationalist government broken theirs with the yellowstone river flood, a government is supposed to serve the people of its nation, not harm them. also stop pushing chinas shit on us, it's fucking disrespectful to our cultures for you chinease to say sovereng nations like taiwan which we are allied with are a part of your nation when literally all but one of the occupied/claimed nations want nothing to do with mainland china and have been fighting to emphasise that fact,
@am c research wisely? i pointed out that there's resistance (tibetten government in exile as explained in the video, taiwan being governed by the old nationalist government, hong kong protests, like have you seen my profile pic? i talked about actual history like the yellowstone river flood of WW2, the holy mandates that the emperors used to justify their rule, what more do you fucking want from me? to point out the last emporor was enlisted by the japanease to administer the occupied region of manchuquo? instead of acting like i'm a dipshit foregner why don't you explain to me why you support your governments decisions? cause as i already explained before, i'm proud british but i celebrate shit like stopping the nazis not the atrocities of our occupations, you can pick and choose what things you support, in fact having opinions is the thing that seperates us from every other animal, so genuinly instead of (rightfully) bashing my forefathers, why do you support your current leaders?

@@jricky7981 i don't think the argument is if tibet is a part of china, the fact that india, chinas rival in the region had reconised their sovereignty over it is evidence of that. the question is whether they should, in the same way europeans forcing their beliefs down the throats of regions majoritively filled with minorities and limit their personal freedoms, chinas doing the same with tibet forcing athiesm onto tibet and creating laws against fucking reincarnation. people quite rightfully see china as an oppressive force and are very morality minded, hence the phrase "free tibet" instead of "hey china stop cliaming this territory as yours like you do with taiwan", it's not a territorial issue, it's a humanitarian one.

This is actually one of his less good videos. I'll agree his content has gotten much better in recent years and he's an amazing UA-camr, but this video is old and poor quality. The history and the map were both partially wrong. He didn't include parts of western Tibet which were part of the Tibetan Empire, and also Tibet never controlled Nepal through conquest _or_ marriage. Also, he claimed Ando and Kham are not usually associated with Tibetan independence, but this is absolutely false. Kham and Amdo are also inhabited by Tibetans, just like U-Tsang, and they want independence too (Although, granted, Amdo does have an increasing growing Chinese population). In the end though, _all_ Tibetans want to form a greater Tibetan country. And while the Dalai Lama may insist "Tibet belongs to China," he does this out of fear. If he advocates for a free Tibet, he could start independence revolts in China, as the Tibetan people are devoutly religious and see him as their leader, exiled or not, and they would follow his word. If he did this, the Chinese government would almost certainly assassinate him in India. Atlas Pro had good intentions making this video, but he didn't quite have all his facts straight when making it.
@@zaraiwzara Oh great another Chinese troll. I used to think the CCP was the evil at the heart of China. But based off all you commenters saying that Tibetans and Uighurs and Inner Mongolians don't deserve independence... it makes me wonder if the Chinese people themselves are the true evil. How could you be so cruel to deny them freedom? How could you be so cruel as to sit back and watch as your government strips them of their culture and religion? That's not ok. :/ And anyone with any common sense should understand what I say is true. The Dalai Lama advocates for peace. It is part of his religion. So, naturally he would be against fighting for independence. But that shouldn't exclude him from supporting a peaceful independence. So why doesn't he? Obviously he has been scared away from it. And who else would scare him but China? Perhaps not *all* Tibetans want independence, but certainly a majority do. That is what I meant by that. Unfortunately it is hard to get an exact number though because China would not allow such a poll of the population to be done. Go figure :/

Multi ethnicity/culture/religion is not unique to China, many other countries should be torn apart: United Kingdom does not make sense, India is an obvious victim and Native Americans/Australians/Canadians deserves their own government within the respective territories.

Well to be as neutral as I can, Tibet has been like a colony of Qing since about 300 years ago. They placed a general there that had higher power than the lama kings. Kinda like how India was a country but still under British raj's rule.
When the Qing crumbled in 1911, the republic (ROC) replacing it didn't have enough power and attention to keep Tibet under occupation, so it sorta became functionally independent. But ROC still claimed to have sovereignty over it, and because ROC was a western ally, nobody would recognize Tibet as independent from China. And what happened after PRC you are all familiar with.
So I think the Hawaii comparison is actually pretty good. If the Hawaiian royalty were still around and took refuge in another country, and the US was suppressing Hawaiian's freedom of religion, you would see people carrying Free Hawaii flags around too. So the real problem is not whether China is the "legitimate" owner of Tibet, but whether they treat the Tibetans nicely.
Very well said
The most non-biased comment here. At least you're not an obnoxious pro-Tibet person. They are illiterate with history. Even when Tibet claimed to be independent, it is debatable on how much of a country it really was. Considering that it lacked recognition. Just as you mentioned, the ROC still claimed it. The League of Nations also recognized it as apart of China. That doesn't mean what China is doing to Tibetans is right still. Nor does it justify what actions China has done to Tibet. While the PRC has a very harsh relationship with Tibet, the ROC's relationship wasn't much peaceful either. They went to war two times with Tibet. But the ROC didn't take extreme meassures on Tibet or Tibetans. Anyway, well said.
I couldn't have said it better myself. The only thing I'd add is that the more people advocate for Tibetan independence, the harder it's going to be on the people living in Tibet. There's no realistic chance of independence in the near future but the insecurity that independence sentiment fosters leads to distrust and oppression by the authorities regarding the people.
@@alanfriesen9837 There is no way the Tibetans can get independence, if China step out due to some magical event, India would step in.

@@u06jo3vmp While I also agree that Tibet isn't going to get independence though I don't think it's because of a threat from India. Those mountains are a hell of a barrier and I don't think India has the capacity to project power through them.

This video ignores the slavery and cruel punishments that existed in Tibet in the 1950s (including amputation and the trade of human skin and bones). Those who are interested can take a look at the laws under the rule of the Tibetan Buddhist government at that time. To the monks and nobles at the time, the People’s Liberation Army might be the enemy, but to the slaves it might be the opposite.
Tibet was a nation in the history. and in fact many of you don't know, Tibet was a threat to the Xin Jiang, and other regions to the middle earth. There was a powerful empire called Tangut empire that ruled Tibet and part of Xin Jiang. During Tang and Song Dynasty, Tangut kept on invading the Tang and Song, and in fact Tang and Song was the side that being invaded and tried to counter attack. This is due to the lack of natural resources in Tibet. Tea is essential. Tea is so important in the daily lives of a Tibetan, because there are not much vegetables you can consume in Tibet, Tibetan people eat beef and drink milk, and vegetable is very rare food for them, even until now, fruits and vegetables are still expensive in Tibet, but of course way better than it was in the past. And Tea can be stored for a long time and it produces crucial nutrients for health, that is why the Tibetan Tangut Empire attempted so many times to invade Tang and Song, because they need tea farms. The wars between the Tang Song Dynasty against the Tibetan Tangut, was easy on the plain, but when it comes to counter attack on the Tangut empires cities, it is difficult due to the altitude sickness, people from the eastern part of China cant handle this when they enter Tibet. and thats what made Tibetan Tangut always a threat that is so difficult to get rid of. and in fact the Tang and Song had no interest for Tibetan lands because they are agricultural nations and it is the Tibet area is not suitable for agricultural economy. But Mongolian eventually destroyed the Tibetan Tangut Empire, and was ruled directly as a province, then the Ming Dynasty replaced the Mongol empire, the Tibet also surrendered to the Ming, but Ming never rule Tibet directly, so it basically remain politically isolated but not economically , the leading body in Tibet acknowledged the Ming emperor as their emperor, else Ming will cut off their tribute relations and the tradings, which is crucial to the Tibetan' survival. (in the tribute system, the tribute state actually earns more than the side who receive the tributes, because the emperor must rewards them more silks, teas, and porcelains in return, thats why many neightbouring nations actually volunteerily to be a tribunal state of China.
Then Qing dynasty came, they sent officers to rule Tibet together with the monks, because the Qing dynasty realized the ambitions of British from the another side of Himalayas. The british wants to take over the Tibet. and even after Qing, the threat is not over, but the enemy changed from the brits to the indians. President Nehru's forward policy is too dangerous, India conquered many small and weak nations and they targeted Tibet. and the conflict between China and India still continues today. its all started with the McMahon line, the brits simply drew a line on the map and claimed it was the border line because their army can reach there.

You;'re wrong, the Tanguts were a qiangic tribe,plus they only rebelled against Song in 986, although they had established control over Northern Shaanxi since the late 800s. They never controlled Xinjiang, only half of Gansu, Ningxia, and what is now parts of Inner Mongolia

Manchuria, Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Tibet were the administrative district called Amban under Qing. Other regions are called Provinces and Banner. Dalai Lama as a principality controls the northern Tibet, whereas Panchen Lama and his court controlled the southern part. Both are subordinated to the Ambon governor. After dynasty collapsed, 13th Dalai Lama usurped 9th Panchen Lama’s court and fiefdom, and forced him into exile. After kicking out Panchen and Republic Amban, Dalai Lama become sole ruler of Tibet Amban. Current Dalai Lama claims another Amban Qinghai/Amdo which was established by Qing in 1725.

Yup. Stupid to argue with white history. They are the ones who wtite it. They have too much power.
Nischal Kattel just coz they teach that propaganda in Nepal’s school to praise their own, it doesn’t make it a fact. You really think people who live in northern parts of the Nepal are Nepali? They are actually Tibetan descendants. Get your facts right!
@tngodup10 They live inside the border of Nepal. If they have Nepalese citizenship they are Nepali.
And where have i said they are not tibetan descendants. It doesnt matter if they are tibetan descendants or chinese descendants. If they have Nepalese citizenship, they are Nepali.
In school we were taught that reason for the marriage is for keeping good relationship between nation. But we were not taught that Bhrikuti flourish Buddhism in Tibet. That time there is Buddhism already in Tibet. It was padmasambava who had made wide flourish of Buddhism in Tibet.

Trueeeeeeeeeee
I've been to Sikkim and its beautiful, People who are not from India needs to understand one basis point that India is a pluralistic society which gives freedom. Sikhism was born here so was buddhism and jainism so India is land of culture and freedom. Those who talk about Kashmir should understand that Kashmir was given its autonomy but then we have a bad neighbour Pakistan which believes in religion above everything. If India would have thought that in the past there would have been no other religions in India which were branched from hinduism like sikhism and jainism.
@LonelyMan Rabby I'm bengali and i can say sikkim has nothing to do with bengal. It has been a mountain kingdom which chose to become part of India. Bengalis need to stop trying to appropriate everything. They have their fair share to brag about. Underplaying their neighbors won't do a thing to elevate them.

Songtsan Gampo actually married with a Chinese princess from the Great Tang Empire
Krete Shi he married a lot of women to build relationships
He had many wives. The more popular ones were the Chinese and Nepalese wives.
The Nepali princess Bhrikuti is called GreenTara and the Chinese princess WenChin as WhiteTara. These two ladies are worshipped as goddess consort. They brought Buddhism to Tibet.
Alex Lestrange you can't say Nepalese modern Nepal didn't even existed back then but I'm sure there were some other names
Pabin Gurung you're right, modern Nepal as in Nepal with the political boundaries of today didn't exist then. But the name 'Nepal' has been around for much much longer than just the past 200 or so years since the country's formation. Some scholars say it's derived from a kirat word and others have other theories. When Prithvi Narayan Shah invaded Kathmandu valley, the valley was referred to as Nepal, which is why Newari is known as Nepal bhasa(Nepali is a different language). Also why the king's army were called Gorkhalis and not Nepalis at the time.
Regardless, when people think of Chinese and Nepalese, they think of today's China and Nepal. China(as a country) didn't have the same territory as it does today in all of its history either so the same logic can be applied to Nepal too. The kingdom Bhrikuti was from might not have been called Nepal but China's name is a fairly recent one too(came from the Qing dynasty). Either way, what is of importance is what kind of influence they had on the ruler of Tibet, Princess Bhrikuti introduced Indo-Nepali culture while Princess WenCheng introduced Chinese culture to the ruler and the Kingdom.
The Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama ruled Tibet, and the emperor ruled the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama. It was originally a very simple matter. Tibet is an autonomous province of China， for 700 years.
The British invaded Tibet from India, and the weakness of the Qing empire complicated the situation, and China's communism and the Cold War made the situation even more complicated.
Tibet will not be completely independent from China, and China will not allow Tibet to become independent. Tibet cannot be without the economic support of mainland China, and China cannot be dragged away from the control of the source of the two mother rivers.
Tibet's independence will only plunge Tibet and mainland China into unprecedented disasters. The 14th Dalai Lama knew it very well.
You better understand the relationship between tibet and China than other people who watch this video 😀
You are a shameless liar.China's Qing Empire invaded and illegally militarily occupied Tibet in 1725, when there was no British threat whatsoever. When the Qing Empire collapsed, the Tibetans seized the opportunity and immediately declared their restoration. However the new Chinese regime still tried to re-annex it. Then we have the communist invasion in 1950.
As a Chinese, I don't recognize China's sovereignty towards Tibet, and would never.
to be exact. Tibet is supposed to be a country but still kidnapped
When the words like "invade" and "conquer" and "perpetrated atrocities" are included in a description, I kinda have to conclude- Yeah, it was a nation.
but from Tang dynasty, the ruler of Tibet has recognized as a vassal state of China until Qing dynasty,especially in QING, the Dalai Rama must obtain the edict from the Qing emperor or it is illegal .and in the period of Republic of China, because of the early civil war and the late Japanese invade war and the civil war between nationalist party and communist party, the Tibet got chance to not comply with the rule in thousand years. So, the new gov of China is just make Tibet do the thing he should do.
@@opheliamalone1953 Key word here is Vassal, the definition of which is Forced Allegiance.
@@montieluckett7036 but it has more than 1300 years..., and in Qing, it has actually become a part of China, the Qing emperor also would send a minister to control the real power.., dalai rama just be a symbol....

in the video the Qing’s influences on Tibet might be underestimated. what i know is that Qing sent someone to cogovern Tibet for quite a long tine.
The princess that built the famous palace?? Eh no..that was the even earlier tang right..
The Qing Dynasty was the Manchurian Empire, and Tibet was a vassal state during the Qing Dynasty. Like Korea.
@@manchuqing4560 No, the Qing Dynasty's control over Tibet was several levels higher than Korea's, and it was a semi-autonomous region.
the place dalai lama was decided by tibet and then got permitted by the Qing,
He gave the recommendation to talk to someone from Tibet, which I think is absolutely the right thing to do. However, one thing to keep in mind is that unless you are going to China, most Tibetans you meet outside of China are part of a very small minority, and much of that demographic left Tibet due to reasons that often put them in contention with the CCP. 94% of Tibetans are not outside of Tibet. As far as I know, there is no reliable poll to show what Tibetans actually think.
I once stayed with a family in Tibet for a few weeks. Interesting that AtlasPro mentioned that you could get arrested for a portrait of the Dalai Lama because that is exactly what this family had up in their main room. We mostly talked about everyday things. I learned how to make yogurt and had the best lamb I've ever eaten. But we also sometimes talked about more interesting topics. They told me about how the kids of the town engage in ethnic group based brawls (this was a town in north Tibet where there were sizeable Hui and Han populations), they told me stories of PLA mass executions. But they also told me that they know that their lives are way better now than they would have been if the CCP hadn't taken over, given their status, and that they know their history. I know this is super anecdotal but I really do wonder what the actual public opinion within Tibet really is.
This sounds absolutely horrible. Which kind of heartless people accept mass executions and ethnic brawls for a bit more money? I'd rather live without electricity and running water, but in freedon and peace.
Same with the Dalai Lama, he is an oxymoron.
The thing people gloss over is that the average Tibetans don't care about being independent. It's just not important to them. The people who want independence are mainly Lamas who missed their days of glory and want to treat the average Tibetans as serfs. Tibet was a hellhole before the CCP took over.

Songtsen Gampo never occupied Nepal. Nepal's king at that time, Anshuverma, married his daughter, Bhrikuti, to Songtsen Gampo. And kept his army out of Nepal. Bhrikuti is the reason Buddhism spread in Tibet.
Edit- At least thats what we were taught in school.
I thought brikuti is hindu..we as tibetan believes padmasambava did that..
Nepali princess Queen Bhrikuti's son was the crown prince who unfortunately died young. So, by default Chinese princess WenChin's son became the king after SrongTson Gampo. Thus Tibet became closer to north-east than south-west. Otherwise history would have been different.
Nepal has a long history of relationship with tibet and was never part of china, nepalese student even have history lesson in social studies subject about the marriage of a nepalese princess with the king of Tibet..

Eastern himalayan ranges starting from arunachal pradesh to the arakkan mountains in myanmar, is actually the land cultural division between indian and chinese zones in east..

A narrow christian belt in between buddhist - Hindu/muslim majority area... The future of that area is uncertain, as christian population is not comfortable in a predominent hindu country, the same way india and pakistan got seperated, added to that the tribalism is still a major factor on these areas, which makes them not trusting and atleast some times hating other indians, and are not mingling together in general. Some groups even fight armed struggle for freedom.. Seems like india is hindu after all,every Christian muslim areas are fighting for seperation,secularism is a good term for literary use, but not pratical,as its seen so in india..!!..
@Milo Taeyang, wish i could beleive what you are saying.. And yes, arunachal pradesh is harbouring lesser anti india sentiments.. But for sure cant say that about nagas, mizos and manipuris in general..nagas are in large number in arunachal too along the eastern side, so don't know about whole of arunachal too..!!..
@Milo Taeyang, have heared that arunachal have its own religion around sun moon concept and god of rangera?.. Are those the only indegenious religions of arunachal?..
@Milo Taeyang Thanks for clarification. Arunachal still retains a lot of non-materialistic lifestyle and people are also very nice. Love Arunachal❤

The earth will be free of human after the WW3
@@ataraxy6051 nah without humans the Earth is also Doomed because if there's no humans left the Nuclear power plants over the world will explode and some nukes can explode accidentally
@@itsfreerealestate1204 but many isolated areas away from nukes will survive giving rise to a second wave of humanity. There are many possibilities, but it's a high possibility that few tribes in the island nation, Amazon and Africa might survive. And as ww3 will be nuclear war, and we presume all nuclear nations participate and fight. The world will definitely go into nuclear winter for decades. But ocean life (especially at the microscopic level) will survive. The earth might go on a restart mode for different species, but earth will not be doomed. As much importance humans give to themselves, but Earth was there, and will survive after humanity unless there is a big population decline reducing numbers and making human life less dense

Republic of Tibet: Exist
China: Thats Illegal
stupid，ya know nothing about tibet and china。do ya think you can judge by only watching a youtubevideo？
It used to be a country (kind of, sort of), but never ever a republic. It was a horrible land where more than 90% of the people enslaved by the lamas (yes Dalai Lama being the highest ranked lama). When people in other part of the world were riding horses, the lamas in independent Tibet were riding slaved humans (ordinary Tibetan men). And more ordinary Tibetan people (mostly young and favoured physique) were killed for their body parts (skins, bones etc) to be made into religious items or art pieces by the lamas. It was simply a hell on earth.
Tibet is part of China, simple question. Why? In Qing dynasty( about 300 years ago), The emperor already had very strong control on Tibet and The emperor built TWO large palaces in Chengde city, Hebei province for the leaders in Tibet, if you dont believe, google The Putuo Zongcheng Temple in Chengde city . How sad that some people know nothing about Tibet and make rumors spread.

The google definition makes Texas a country (as well as Vermont and Alaska), Texas has a history different from every other state, has its own state government and has a defined territory.
Texas is, to a degree, a country. State is synonymous with country, and the “United States” is a strategic union of what would be individual countries.
If by that definition, "Texas is a country," then Tibet would be a country too. Because the Tibetan Autonomous Region has its own government with its capital in Lhasa.
But we all know that neither Texas nor Tibet is a country, so therefore the definition of a country must include not just any governance, but _independent_ governance.
Nation, not county. There's nothing wrong with that definition, it's cool to view on a map of like cool cultures around the world but it just becomes arbitrary. While Arizona is a nation, so is the Navajo Nation, way more even. But the American southwest also is a nation that's part of the Mexican homeland.
@@daltonmiller5590 all those words have multiple meanings tho. While for most people, "country" means like those governments that are independent and stuff, it's not the case for the UK where Scotland is a country while not being independent at all. But honestly what's even the meaning of "independent and stuff"? There's a word for that, it's sovereign state, but it's not as common. Though sovereign states are in the UN. But how sovereign do you even have to be? Some entities have a lot of autonomy but aren't un the UN. The country of Micronesia and Niue have similar statuses but one is in the UN and not the other. But what other words are used for sovereign states? Just "state" (the state of israel lol). But as you can see in the US, its territorial divisions are also called states despite by far not being independent.
@@gamermapper This is why I really dislike the UK using "countries" as the correct term to refer to their subdivisions within the United Kingdom. I'm 99% positive that no other soveirgn country in the world uses the word "country" to refer to their subdivisions. We have words like "provinces," "states," "territories," "departments," and even the French "regions." These are words to solely refer to subdivisions within a country. Hell, you could even just call them "subdivisions."
The UK using the word "country" for their subdivisions muddles the very definition of country. Scotland is not independent (not yet at least lmao). Neither is Wales, or Northern Ireland. I don't care if it's tradition to refer to them as such. The historical era of Welsh/Scottish independence was over centuries ago. They aren't countries anymore by global definition. The UK should give it up and just start using "provinces" or something. Scottish pride will heal.
One clear fact is that Tibet has been a country for much of history. In China, the Communist Party teaches Chinese people that Tibet (along with other regions such as Xinjiang) has been a part of China for thousands of years. That’s an enormous lie. The Communists are not honest about the fact that Tibet and these other territories were originally other countries, which were much later conquered by China.
@am c why are you glorifying a country annexing other nations on a platform your platform outright banned and requires you to use a VPN to even access?
like i understand nationalism, but this is on the level of saying europe controlling 90% of the planet was a good thing (since colonialism is just annexing a lot of territory into autonomous regions), this is a direct infringement of the right to self determinism.
if you want to love your nation then that's fine, i'm proud to be british despite condemning the famines and autrocities in their past and shitty leadership now, and that's because i've learnt to seperate government from state, china has always been powerful due to the people in there, to such a point that overthrowing dynasties from expired holy mandates was the norm.
the neo-communist government has broken the "holy mandate" by oppressing the Uyghurs in the same way the nationalist government broken theirs with the yellowstone river flood, a government is supposed to serve the people of its nation, not harm them.
also stop pushing chinas shit on us, it's fucking disrespectful to our cultures for you chinease to say sovereng nations like taiwan which we are allied with are a part of your nation when literally all but one of the occupied/claimed nations want nothing to do with mainland china and have been fighting to emphasise that fact,
@am c research wisely?
i pointed out that there's resistance (tibetten government in exile as explained in the video, taiwan being governed by the old nationalist government, hong kong protests, like have you seen my profile pic?
i talked about actual history like the yellowstone river flood of WW2, the holy mandates that the emperors used to justify their rule, what more do you fucking want from me? to point out the last emporor was enlisted by the japanease to administer the occupied region of manchuquo?
instead of acting like i'm a dipshit foregner why don't you explain to me why you support your governments decisions? cause as i already explained before, i'm proud british but i celebrate shit like stopping the nazis not the atrocities of our occupations, you can pick and choose what things you support, in fact having opinions is the thing that seperates us from every other animal, so genuinly instead of (rightfully) bashing my forefathers, why do you support your current leaders?

@@jricky7981 i don't think the argument is if tibet is a part of china, the fact that india, chinas rival in the region had reconised their sovereignty over it is evidence of that.
the question is whether they should, in the same way europeans forcing their beliefs down the throats of regions majoritively filled with minorities and limit their personal freedoms, chinas doing the same with tibet forcing athiesm onto tibet and creating laws against fucking reincarnation.
people quite rightfully see china as an oppressive force and are very morality minded, hence the phrase "free tibet" instead of "hey china stop cliaming this territory as yours like you do with taiwan", it's not a territorial issue, it's a humanitarian one.
As if western countries never invaded other nations and acted as the judge.... Should US intruders kill local indians? Should UK invaded many african countries and Asian ciountries? obviously you should see what awful things your government had done before commenting on other countries.

Is New Mexico a country?
I think so.
Before the Savage came it was land of Mexican before that it’s was the Native.
I think it's part of Old Mexico but someone decided to take it and make a border.
Maykil Ryfira not really, Arizona and New Mexico were home to native civilizations like the Pueblo and Anazasi, but were already on decline when the Europeans first settled and basically non existent once the Mexicans and Americans claimed their land
is new mexico being oppressed? no. do new mexicans want independence? no. are tibetans being oppressed? yes. do tibetans want independence? yes. that's the difference.
Su mudaerji is the reason y I watched this video since he’s Tibetan.
Very good and carefully created video, you are among the greatest of content creators please never change, don’t stop, I need your videos
This is actually one of his less good videos. I'll agree his content has gotten much better in recent years and he's an amazing UA-camr, but this video is old and poor quality.
The history and the map were both partially wrong. He didn't include parts of western Tibet which were part of the Tibetan Empire, and also Tibet never controlled Nepal through conquest _or_ marriage. Also, he claimed Ando and Kham are not usually associated with Tibetan independence, but this is absolutely false. Kham and Amdo are also inhabited by Tibetans, just like U-Tsang, and they want independence too (Although, granted, Amdo does have an increasing growing Chinese population). In the end though, _all_ Tibetans want to form a greater Tibetan country. And while the Dalai Lama may insist "Tibet belongs to China," he does this out of fear. If he advocates for a free Tibet, he could start independence revolts in China, as the Tibetan people are devoutly religious and see him as their leader, exiled or not, and they would follow his word. If he did this, the Chinese government would almost certainly assassinate him in India.
Atlas Pro had good intentions making this video, but he didn't quite have all his facts straight when making it.
@@daltonmiller5590 at this point, any nation on earth would do this to mantain stability, let's just hope revolt doesn't happen in china
@@daltonmiller5590 and where have you took the information that all tibetans want a country? And the dalai lama says this out of fear? Your ass?
@@zaraiwzara Oh great another Chinese troll. I used to think the CCP was the evil at the heart of China. But based off all you commenters saying that Tibetans and Uighurs and Inner Mongolians don't deserve independence... it makes me wonder if the Chinese people themselves are the true evil. How could you be so cruel to deny them freedom? How could you be so cruel as to sit back and watch as your government strips them of their culture and religion? That's not ok. :/
And anyone with any common sense should understand what I say is true. The Dalai Lama advocates for peace. It is part of his religion. So, naturally he would be against fighting for independence. But that shouldn't exclude him from supporting a peaceful independence. So why doesn't he? Obviously he has been scared away from it. And who else would scare him but China?
Perhaps not *all* Tibetans want independence, but certainly a majority do. That is what I meant by that. Unfortunately it is hard to get an exact number though because China would not allow such a poll of the population to be done. Go figure :/
@@daltonmiller5590 It’s incredibly sad to hear the amount of monasteries destroyed just in Tibet by the Chinese. It breaks my heart. We’ll never have that part of history ever again.
