Tibet expels the garrison

1912–13 — The 13th Dalai Lama’s government disarms and deports the Qing garrison and declares that the priest-patron bond died with the dynasty. No Chinese government controls Lhasa again until 1951 — the parchment zone on your map is a fact, not a courtesy.
This is one scene of Chapter 1 — The Fall of the Qing in China in Revolution, 1911–1949.
