Definition

“Tibet is a Central Asian Buddhist culture, 1500 years old.  It was conquered by the Chinese in the early 1800’s, but declared its independence after the British assisted Republican Revolution of 1911.  In 1951 China re-conquered Tibet and gave it regional autonomy.  After a 1959 Tibetan rebellion, the area was further integrated into China.  Tibet’s spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama fled and lives with 7000 refugees in Northern India, contending that his country is occupied by force.  Tibetans, who believe in non-violence, have suffered from human rights abuses of all kinds.” (Encyclopedia of Nationalism. Moytl, Alexander, ed.)

    Cite Your Sources

    Eventually, all students have to learn to properly cite their sources for their research. Some classes require MLA style, while others use APA. This page will give you pointers as well as help in creating those "Works Cited" or "References" pages. Remember you can always contact us, if it gets confusing (and it usually does!)
