Tibet came under the control of People's Republic of China (PRC) after the Government of Tibet signed the Seventeen Point Agreement which the 14th Dalai Lama ratified on 24 October 1951,[6] but later repudiated on the grounds that he had rendered his approval for the agreement under duress.[7] 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.[8][9] The series of events came to be called the "Peaceful Liberation of Tibet" by the Chinese government (despite several thousand casualties being reported by Chinese generals throughout the invasion),[10][11][12][13] and the "Chinese invasion of Tibet" by the Central Tibetan Administration[14] and the Tibetan diaspora.[15]
The Government of Tibet and the Tibetan social structure remained in place in the Tibetan polity under the authority of China until the 1959 Tibetan uprising, when the Dalai Lama fled into exile and after which the Government of Tibet and Tibetan social structures were dissolved.[16][17]

It was evident that the Chinese were not prepared to accept any compromises and that the Tibetans were compelled, under the threat of immediate armed invasion, to sign the Chinese proposal.
