Mongols, Mao, and the Dalai Lama
Interesting article on the historical background to China's claims on Tibet and Tibet's (especially the Dalai Lama's) view on its independence. Historical manipulation seems to be evident on both sides for their own reasons, though it would seem Tibet was never formally a part of China (though it does seem it was a vassal state under at least two dynasties).
This shows just how history drives events.
