The Failed Invasion of Tibet: Nepal's 1856 Gamble
Om avsnittet
In 1856, Nepal's Rana rulers launched an ambitious campaign into Tibet via Mustang and the Kali Gandaki valley. This episode traces the little-known attempt by Jang Bahadur Rana to press claims against the Qing-backed Tibetan government, the brutal high-altitude battles, the collapse of the campaign, and the aftermath that redrew Nepal–Tibet relations. It's a story of political miscalculation, mountain warfare, and the resilience of a Himalayan kingdom that learned to read the geopolitics of its neighbors.
