The evolution of a sentence edit

From 1912 to 1950, the present extent of the Tibet Autonomous Region (comprising Ü-Tsang and western Kham) was ruled by the government of Tibet headed by the Dalai Lama.

While Tibet has been formally a part of China since the early 18th century as part of the Qing Dynasty, from 1912 to 1950, Tibet was dissolved from China proper as a result of the 1911 Revolution and Japanese occupation during WW2.

From 1912 to 1950 Tibet was under de jure suzerainty of the Republic of China however a result of the Xinhai Revolution and concentration of the central government fighting against the Japanese invasion during World War II, operated as an independent country.

From 1912 to 1950, the State of Tibet was under suzerainty of the Republic of China; however, the difficulties of establishing a new government in the aftermath of the Xinhai Revolution of 1911, the fractious Warlord Era (1916-1928), the Chinese Civil War (1927-1949) and the overwhelming Japanese invasion and occupation before and during World War II left the Republic unable to exert any effective administration.

Since all irony will be lost in the editors of this page, let me state plainly that all of the versions are unsourced, and all of them are essentially wrong. The first version is factually true but it is un understatement.

The factual position is that From 1912 to 1950, Tibet was de facto independent, as stated in the lead sentence of Tibet (1912–1951) with reasonably good sources. Any volunteers to put up this version on this page? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:40, 7 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Demographics table edit

As per the notes 28 ([1]https://web.archive.org/web/20090805174810/http://www.stats.gov.cn/TJGB/RKPCGB/qgrkpcgb/t20020404_16767.htm) and 29 (https://web.archive.org/web/20120914173158/http://www.stats.gov.cn/tjgb/rkpcgb/qgrkpcgb/t20020404_16768.htm): In 1954, Tibetans: 3.640.125 In 1960, 2.501.174 Tibetans.

That is a 31,3 % decrease in population if I'm not mistaken. Renascior (talk) 22:05, 22 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
