When British Army Entered Tibet 😳 In the early 20th century, Britain feared that Russian influence in Central Asia and Tibet could threaten British India. To counter this growing influence, Lord Curzon sent a British military expedition towards Tibet, led by Francis Younghusband. 🇬🇧🗺️ The expedition moved from Sikkim through the Chumbi Valley and reached Lhasa, the political centre of Tibet. In 1904, the British and Tibetans signed the Treaty of Lhasa, which included important terms related to trade, borders and indemnity.
