The Convention of Lhasa,[1][2][3] officially the Convention Between Great Britain and Thibet,[4] was a treaty signed in 1904 between Tibet and Great Britain, in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, then a protectorate of the Qing dynasty. It was signed following the British expedition to Tibet of 1903–1904, a military expedition led by Colonel Francis Younghusband, and was followed by the Anglo-Chinese Convention of 1906.

  1. ^ Lamb, Tibet, China & India (1989), p. 9: "One achievement of Younghusband's treaty which he secured in Lhasa, the so called Lhasa Convention, survived in part in the shape of further Trade Marts opened at Gartok in Western Tibet and Gyantse on the road between Yatung and Lhasa."
  2. ^ Van Eekelen, Indian Foreign Policy and the Border Dispute (1967), p. 10: "As the British troops under Colonel Younghusband approached Lhasa, the Dalai Lama fled to Mongolia. The Lhasa Convention of 1904 was quickly signed with representatives of his Government."
  3. ^ Norbu, China's Tibet Policy (2001), p. 169: "But the true significance of the Lhasa Convention lies in the fact that Britain recognized Tibet's treaty-making power or at least the realization that a treaty concerning Tibet without Tibetan participation would be quite meaningless."
  4. ^ Goldstein, A History of Modern Tibet, Vol. 1 (1989), p. 832.
