Summary A hundred years ago, in 1904, a British mission under Francis Younghusband, along witha formidable military escort commanded by Brigadier-General James Macdonald, enteredLhasa, the capital of Tibet. Thus nearly 150 years of British attempts from their Indianbase to establish formal diplomatic relations with the ruling Tibetan theocracy culminatedin the deployment of massive armed force. While the Younghusband venture failed toachieve nearly all its stated objectives, it undoubtedly marked the opening of a new era inCentral Asian history the full consequences and complexities of which have yet.
