With a land area of 2.5 million square kilometers, Tibet is located in the middle of Asia. Six million Tibetans live in the physical homeland of the worldβs tallest mountains, wide desert plains, and large river valleys. It is 13,000 feet above sea level on average. From 1949 until now, Tibet has been made up of the following three provinces: U-Tsang (which, along with western Kham, is currently referred to by China as the Tibet Autonomous Region); Kham (which has been largely incorporated into the Chinese provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Qinghai); and Amdo (which is currently divided by China into the provinces of Qinghai, Gansu, and Sichuan).
China founded the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) in 1965 for administrative purposes; it now makes up less than half of historic Tibet. Itβs crucial to understand that when Chinese authorities and media refer to βTibet,β they exclusively mean the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR). The three provinces mentioned above, or the region that was customarily known as Tibet prior to the 1949β50 invasion, are what Tibetans refer to when they refer to the region as Tibet.
Most people agree that Tibet has been under the control of the Peopleβs Republic of China (PRC) since 1959 and that China and Tibet were independent before the Yuan period (1271β1368). Itβs debatable how Tibet and China interacted throughout that time.
