March 10th, 1959 - Tibet uprising

 

China had occupied Tibet in 1950. During the 1950s the Tibetan resistance against China grew. Attacks by Tibetans on the Chinese army occurred repeatedly. In an unusual move, the Dalai Lama was invited by the Chinese army on March 10th, 1959. Part of the Tibetan people feared that the Dalai Lama would be kidnapped. On March 10th about 300,000 Tibetans gathered at his house to prevent him from the visit. (Generally, this event is seen as the beginning of the Tibetan uprising.) Then, an open conflict broke out. The Tibetans were greatly inferior and poorly armed. Consequently, the fighting ended after just two days. On the Tibetan side, there were 86. 000 deaths. The Dalai Lama fled into exile.
