1950Annexation of Tibet by the People's Republic of China: The People's Liberation Army ceases all military operations in Tibet, ending the Battle of Chamdo.^[†]

Tibet came under the control of the People's Republic of China after the Government of Tibet signed the Seventeen Point Agreement which the 14th Dalai Lama ratified on 24 October 1951, but later repudiated on the grounds that he had rendered his approval for the agreement under duress. This occurred after attempts by the Tibetan Government to gain international recognition, efforts to modernize its military, negotiations between the Government of Tibet and the PRC, and a military conflict in the Chamdo area of western Kham in October 1950. The Chinese government calls the series of events the "Peaceful Liberation of Tibet", despite several thousand casualties being reported by Chinese generals throughout the invasion. The events are known as the "Chinese invasion of Tibet" by the Central Tibetan Administration and by the Tibetan diaspora.
