Second Battle of Tibet (Eastern Manifest Destiny)

The Second Battle of Tibet occured from 15 though 20 June 1919. It was the second of two military campaigns against a de facto independent Tibetan state and the Kuomingtang-controlled Republic of China government. This battle was a response to the KMT's defeat in the First Battle of Tibet against a small Tibetan force led by a defected KMT brigade led by Liu Xiang.
