The history of Tibet between 1912 and 1951 marked the span of Tibet's de facto independence, from the fall of the Qing dynasty to the invasion of Tibet by the People's Republic of China in 1950 that would see Tibet reincorporated to become the Tibet Autonomous Region within China. Following the Xinhai Revolution and the downfall of the Qing dynasty, Tibetan militia launched a surprise attack on the Qing garrison stationed in Tibet. Afterwards the Qing officials in Lhasa were forced to sign the "Three Point Agreement" which provided for the surrender and expulsion of Qing forces in central Tibet. In early 1913, the 13th Dalai Lama, who had fled to India when the Qing invaded Tibet in 1910, returned to Lhasa and issued a proclamation distributed throughout Tibet which condemned "The Chinese intention of colonizing Tibet under the patron-priest relationship", and stated that, "We are a small, religious, and independent nation."
