6 Reason Why "Tibet" is not Part of China.

1. Tibet's history                                                                             Tibet had history written over 2,000 years ago. The Genghis khan's mongol empire expanded over almost half of the world .The Tibetans had agreement for full protection for the exchange of religious blessing and teaching.That religious relation became so close even to Kublai khan.
   
                                                                                                               
   
   
2. Language                                                                                    Tibet has the one most beautiful language in the world. It was created by the one of greatest Tibetan scholar Thonmi Sambhota during 7th century C.E. To be more clear, Tibetan language is entirely different from Chinese language. 
   
   
   
3. Declaration of Tibet's Independence in 1913                                            The Manchu army sent troops to Tibet in 1909, prompting the 13th Dalai Lama to escape to India. However, as the Manchu dynasty succumbed to a Chinese revolution at home, Tibetans seized the moment and expelled the Manchu troops from Tibet. The 13th Dalai Lama returned to Tibet and issued a proclamation to mark the restoration of Tibetan independence. The text of this proclamation has survived, though the original document has not.     
   
                       
4.  Simla Agreement                                                                          In 1914, there was "treaty" made between The Great Britain, China and Tibet concerning Tibet's status and Its borders.
