À propos de ce contenu audio

 This episode of The History of Tibet explores the extraordinary career of Thubten Gyatso, the 13th Dalai Lama, who ruled from 1895 to 1933—a period of immense change. We cover his early struggles against the Qing-backed Lhalu regent, his initial exile after the British Younghusband expedition to Lhasa in 1904, the signing of the Treaty of Lhasa, and his subsequent consolidation of power. We examine his controversial reforms: modernizing the Tibetan military with British weapons, establishing secular schools, and challenging the Gelug monasteries' entrenched power. His death in 1933, under mysterious circumstances during a ritual, left a power vacuum quickly filled by the Reting Rinpoche. We also discuss the brief, enigmatic 'Tibetan Republic' of 1911-1913, when an attempted declaration of independence from both China and the Manchus failed to gain international recognition. This episode ties earlier Tibetan political struggles—from the Phagmodrupa to the Ganden Phodrang—to the modern era, showing how one man tried to drag an ancient theocratic state into the 20th century.
