The Xinhai Lhasa turmoil (Tibetan: ཆུ་བྱི་དམག་འཁྲུག་, Wylie: chu byi dmag 'khrug; Chinese: 辛亥拉薩動亂) was a series of mutinies among Qing military troops stationed in Lasha, Tibet, followed by the military conflict between Tibetan militar and Qing garrison. It effectively resulted in the end of Qing rule in Tibet.

Background

The Wuchang Uprising unfolded on October 10, 1911, and marked the beginning of the Xinhai Revolution. Turmoil in the frontier regions of China began to spread.[1]: 58–59  The revolutionaries led by Sun Yat-sen insisted on "getting rid of the Tartars" and rejected the Manchus, creating a new government based completely on Han-dominated China proper.

Turmoil in Tibet

The influence of the Wuchang Uprising rapidly spread to the frontier region. Qing armies in Tibet ended up struggling against each other, and as a result, Tibet fell into a state of anarchy. In the winter of 1911, the Qing Governor of Sichuan, Zhao Erfeng, was executed by radicals, and the situation turned worse as Xikang fell into turmoil as well. The last Qing emperor, Puyi, also abdicated in February 1912. As a result, the Dalai Lama was able to eliminate Qing influence in Tibet and return as the sole administrator of the region. Tibetan militia besieged the station of Qing army, which was unable to resist Dalai Lama's forces. In August 1912, the Qing officials in Lhasa were then forced to sign the "Three Point Agreement" for the surrender and expulsion of Qing forces in Tibet. Finally, all officers and soldiers of Qing fled back to inland China via India.[1]: 59 [2][3]
