Asia Pacific 68 years ago today: China in Korea and Tibet (09 Sep 1951) https://buff.ly/2ZQgRfF China's intervention in Korea forced the surprised UN forces to retreat, but the Chinese were unable to conquer the South and a stalemate ensued. Meanwhile, the People's Republic was moving to reassert Chinese authority over Tibet. In a short campaign over the disputed Chamdo region, it forced Tibet to sue for peace and accept Chinese sovereignty. #asiapacific #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1950s #20thcentury #modernhistory #1951 #chinesehistory #coldwar #japan #japanesehistory #koreanwar #northkorea #september #september9 #southkorea #tibet #invasionoftibet #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Lhasa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2L13X-gwPk/?igshid=xuu2u5pckfht
