Sikkim Treaty

Japanese: シッキム条約 - シッキムじょうやく
Sikkim Treaty
A treaty concluded between the Qing dynasty and Great Britain in 1890 (the 16th year of the Guangxu era). In 1887, Tibetan troops invaded Sikkim, and Britain intervened and occupied the country. To resolve this issue, the Qing dynasty, which was the suzerain of Tibet, and Great Britain concluded the Sikkim Treaty, in which the Qing recognized Britain's protectorate over Sikkim and also established the border between Tibet and Sikkim. This treaty solidified Britain's position in the southern Himalayas and also opened the way for further advance into Tibet.
