Trouble with Thibet* The history of the present trouble with Thibet dates back to 1886. A body of Thibetan troops then invaded Sibkim, a British protectorate, and it became necessary for the British to drive them out. In 1893, trade regulations with Thibet were drawn up by "an Anglo-Chinese Commission—Thibet being under the suzerainty of China—but Thibet has refused to recognise these agreements. The Indian Government continued to make efforts to arrive at a satisfactory understanding, but to no purpose. British boundary pillars have been destroyed and encroachments continually made on our territories. Other means having failed, Colonol Younghusband was despatched by the Indian Government into Thibet to confer with the Thibetan and Chinese officials.
