Historical maps of East Asia, South Asia and regions in between :
Not sure about accuracy of the first map circa 1827, the cartographer claimed that Tibet ruled lands that now part of N. E. Bangladesh and the ones that now border eastern Bangladesh
Toba ruled north China, they did. we call them 鲜卑(xianbei) or 拓跋鲜卑(tuoba or toba xianbei). They created wei empire(we call it as beiwei/ North wei?). Finally, Wei was insteaded by Sui empire.
That period is a darkness and chao age. There were no law, freedom and justice etc , but blood, iron and death.
and the Tibetan ruler Fu-chen, who forged an empire in the same area after the Toba weakened?
I dont know who is this fu-chen. 苻坚(fu jian)?
Yeah, Thats right the Tufan empire was at its height in the early 8th century and ruled much of Nepal, northern India, and what is now Bangladesh. And they even conquered Skardu, and Gilgit valley in northern Pakistan before the Chinese Tang Dynasty sent troops to southern Chitral in northwest Pakistan, where they replaced the pro-Tibet ruler.
That was i think one of those few centuries when Tibet was independent of China otherwise it has always been an integral part of Chinese empire.
