What does history have to say? -- $tThe Tibetan Empire /$rHelga Uebach -- $tThe Yuan Dynasty /$rElliot Sperling -- $tSome Tibetans have argued that the Yuan emperor, Kublai Khan, and Pagba, a leading Tibetan lama of the Sagya Sect, only established the religious relationship of "the benefactor and the lama"; political subordination was not involved. Is this right? /$rElliot Sperling -- $tHow did the Yuan Dynasty exercise its sovereignty over Tibet? /$rElliot Sperling -- $tIt has been argued that the Mongolians incorporated Tibet into China by conquest in a manner not too dissimilar to Britain's occupation of India and Burma.
