Tibet (1983: Doomsday)

 Tibet is a country located north of the Himalayas. It is home to the indigenous Tibetan people, and to some other ethnic groups such as Monpas and Lhobas, and is now also inhabited by considerable numbers of Han Chinese people. Tibet is the highest region on earth, with an average elevation of 4,900 metres (16,000 ft). It is sometimes referred to as the roof of the world.    == History == === Pre-Doomsday === 'Before Doomsday Tibet was an autonomous region in China and was called the Tibet Autonomous Region or TAR.Autonomy provided that head of government would be an ethnic Tibetan; however, de facto'' power in the TAR was held by the First Secretary of the Tibet Autonomous Regional Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, who had never been a Tibetan. The role of ethnic Tibetans in the higher levels of the TAR Communist Party remains very limited.Since 1979 there had been an economic but not a political reform. Some PRC policies in Tibet had been described as moderate, while others were judged to be more oppressive.Most religious freedoms had been officially restored, provided that the lamas did not challenge PRC rule, renounced the Dalai Lama, and stayed within dictated confines. Foreigners could visit most parts of Tibet, but it was suspected that the less savoury aspects of PRC rule were kept hidden from visitors. Foreign visitors are often subject to harassment by police.  === Doomsday '''=== '''The immediate effect of Doomsday was the destruction of Lhasa by a Soviet missile,destroying the TAR leadership. However,since there were no other missile attacks on Tibet, the people of Tibet fared the storm of Doomsday far better than their Chinese comrades to the east. The capital of the TAR was moved to Shigatse and Tibetans focused on surviving and waiting for any indication of the survival of the PRC ''' === Rebuilding and the proclamation of the Tibetan monarchy(1984-1985) === ''' Three months passed,and by the beginning of 1984 there came the realization that they were on their own now. Refugees from the east reported that China had fallen into anarchy and there was no central government. Hearing of this,the Tibetans quickly sent scouts to India to bring the Dalai Lama back to his rightful throne,and on the 15th of March 1984 the Tibetan monarchy was proclaimed,with the Dalai Lama as head of state and the Tibetan Parliament as his council. The Tibetans mostly focused on agriculture for survival and also focuses on internal problems.''' === Chengdu military region crisis(1985-1989) === '''The Tibetans also faced another problem in dealing with the remnants of the Chinese army stationed in the Chengdu military region,headed by Fu Qanyou. The military had 180,000 men, with four motorised infantry divisions, one artillery division, two armoured brigades, one artillery brigade, and two anti-aircraft brigades and ever since Doomsday they denounced the Tibetan proclamation of independence and Fu acted on his on the first few years,severing all communication with the Tibetans starting a cold war between him and government in Shigatse.
