Tibet, a country which was,
de facto, independent and neutral under its Dalai Lama. But it was constantly under pressure from China, which claimed suzerainty over it, and from the UK, to allow transit of war supplies for China. After a Chinese show of force, which the Tibetans defied, and which the Allies told China to desist from, permission for non-military supplies to pass through was granted in 1943. For other supply routes to China see
Burma Road,
French Indo-China,
Hump, and
Ledo Road.
