The British Empire and Tibet,
1900–1922
In August 1904 Sir Francis Younghusband’s invasion force reached the
forbidden city of Lhasa. The British invasion of Tibet in 1903 acted as a
catalyst for change in a world transformed by revolution, war and the rise
of a new order.
The Thirteenth Dalai Lama had already fled and the approaching
winter allowed only a brief stay in the city. For Britain the decision to
station political agents inside Tibet divided the various branches of the
British Foreign Service at all levels, involving bitter conflict between the
Foreign Office in London, the viceroy and government of India, and the
China Service in Peking. For Tibet, it represented an unwelcome end to
decades of isolation and virtual independence and the beginning of a
long struggle to protect the country from Britain and China.
Using official government sources, private papers and the diaries and
memoirs of those involved, this book examines the impact of Young-
husband’s invasion and its aftermath inside Tibet and in the context
of Britain’s wider Asian policy against a background of dramatic inter-
national change.
Dr Wendy Palace is a founder member of the Tibet Society at Cambridge
