Southern Asia 88 years ago today: Sino-Tibetan War (26 Mar 1931) https://buff.ly/2V1O4PP By the early 1930s, Chiang Kaishek’s Nationalists had reunified much of China, encouraging the remaining warlords to side with him. Tibet, whose independence remained unrecognized, soon came into conflict with some of these warlords when it asserted its claim to monasteries on its eastern border. The warlords defeated the Tibetans, eventually agreeing to a truce in 1932. #southernasia #history #welovemaps #map #1930s #1931 #march #march26 #xikang #maps #britishempire #chinesehistory #tibet #kingdomoftibet #warlordchina #warlords #warlordism #asianhistory #worldhistory #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #modernhistory #20thcentury #chiangkaishek #jiangjieshi #republicofchina (at Qamdo, Xizang, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvdkKbWAgkL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x53cedcpi0ro
