The '''1720 Chinese expedition to Tibet''' was a military expedition of the [[Qing dynasty]] sent to expel the invading forces of the [[Dzungar Khanate]] in [[Tibet]] and establish Chinese [[protectorate]] over Tibet in 1720. The expedition occupied [[Lhasa]] and marked the beginning of [[Tibet under Qing rule|Qing rule in Tibet]], which lasted until the dynasty's fall in 1912. |

==History== |
|||
[[Güshi Khan]], founder of the [[Khoshut Khanate]] overthrew the prince of [[Ü-Tsang|Tsang]] and made the [[5th Dalai Lama]] the highest spiritual and political authority in Tibet,<ref>René Grousset, ''The Empire of the Steppes'', New Brunswick 1970, p. 522</ref> establishing the regime known as [[Ganden Phodrang]] in 1642. The [[Dzungar Khanate]] under [[Tsewang Rabtan]] invaded Tibet in 1717, deposed the pretender to the position of Dalai Lama of [[Lha-bzang Khan]], the last ruler of the Khoshut Khanate, and killed Lhazang Khan and his entire family. They also viciously destroyed a small force in the [[Battle of the Salween River]] which the [[Kangxi Emperor]] of the Qing dynasty had sent to clear traditional trade routes in 1718.<ref name="Mullin288">Mullin 2001, p. 288</ref> In response, an expedition sent by Kangxi Emperor, together with Tibetan forces under [[Polhané Sönam Topgyé|Polhanas]] of Tsang and [[Khangchenné|Kangchennas]] (also spelled Gangchenney), the governor of Western Tibet,<ref name="Mullin290">Mullin 2001, p. 290</ref><ref name="Smith125">Smith 1997, p. 125</ref> expelled the Dzungars from Tibet in 1720 as patrons of the Khoshut and liberators of Tibet from the Dzungars. This began the period of [[Tibet under Qing rule|Qing administrative rule of Tibet]], which lasted until the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1912. |
