I’m a bit of a dissenter among Hexbear on this maybe.
I’m not convinced the Tibetan people supported the invasion.
I hear it being justified by “slavery existed in Tibet”, but by that logic any country with slavery (e.g. Mauritania, Haïti) deserves to be invaded. It sounds like a post hoc smear. I don’t think the motivation was to free the slaves.
Willing to read books/papers with a more hexbearian perspective, I’m not basing my opinion on very much research I’m happy to admit.
