After the overthrowal of the Republic of China by the Communists in 1949, and the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the People's Liberation Army entered Eastern Tibet in 1950, and extended Chinese control over all of Tibet during the next few years. A Tibetan governement existed until March 1959, when it was disolved following a failed uprising. On 9th September 1965 Tibet became an Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China.
Since the annexation of Tibet by China, there have been no issues of postage stamps specifically for use within Tibet. However, the Chinese People's Postal Service has issued several sets of commemorative stamps relating to Tibet, and Tibetan scenes are shown in some ordinary stamps.
