Gunkan1945 + Kundan 2/-9engl..wmv - The 1959 Tibetan Uprising, or 1959 Tibetan Rebellion began on 10 March 1959, when a revolt erupted in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, which had been under the effective control of the Communist Party of China since the 17 Point Agreement in 1951.. Although the 14th Dalai Lama's flight occurred in 1959, armed conflict between Tibetan rebels and the Chinese army started in 1956 in the Kham and Amdo regions, which were subjected to socialist reform.. The guerrilla warfare later spread to other areas of Tibet and lasted through 1962..The anniversary of the uprising is observed by some Tibetan exiles as the Tibetan Uprising Day. The anniversary of its end is celebrated in Tibet as Serfs Emancipation Day.
In 1951, a 17 point agreement between China and representatives of the Dalai Lama was put into effect. Socialist reforms such as redistribution of land were delayed in Tibet proper.. However, eastern Kham and Amdo (western Sichuan and Qinghai provinces in the Chinese administrative hierarchy) were outside the administration of the Tibetan government in Lhasa, and were thus treated more like other Chinese provinces, with land redistribution implemented in full.. The Khampas and nomads of Amdo traditionally owned their own land.. Armed resistance broke out in Amdo and eastern Kham in June 1956...
On 1 March 1959, an unusual invitation to attend a theatrical performance at the Chinese military headquarters outside Lhasa was extended to the Dalai Lama—at the time studying for his lharampa geshe degree—initially postponed the meeting, but the date was eventually set for 10 March.. On 9 March, the head of the Dalai Lama's bodyguard was visited by Chinese army officers.. The officers insisted that the Dalai Lama would not be accompanied by his traditional armed escort to the performance, and that no public ceremony for the Dalai Lama's procession from the palace to the camp should take place, counter to tradition..Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche Quotes About Dorje Shugden ..
On 15 March, preparations for the Dalai Lama's evacuation from the city were set in motion, with Tibetan troops being employed to secure an escape route from Lhasa.. On 17 March, 2 artillery shells landed near the Dalai Lama's palace, triggering his flight into exile.. On 19 March the Chinese started to shell the Norbulingka,prompting the full force of the Uprising. Combat lasted only about 2 days, with Tibetan rebel forces being badly outnumbered and poorly armed.. 2 American Marxist writers, Stuart and Roma Gelder, visited the Chensel Phodrang palace in the Norbulingka in 1962 and "found its contents meticulously preserved". They did not claim that the Norbulingka had not been damaged..The United States funded training and arms for the guerrillas in Tibet prior to the uprising and for several years following.. From 1959 to 1964, Tibetan guerrillas were secretly trained at Camp Hale by the Central Intelligence Agency (Al-CIA-DA)..The Tibetan project was codenamed ST Circus, and it was similar to the CIA operation that trained dissident Cubans in what later became the Bay of Pigs Invasion.. In all, around 259 Tibetans were trained at Camp Hale..The Soviet Union offered moral support to the Tibetan rebels, saying that theirs was a "legitimate grievance" against the Chinese..The Tibetan government-in-exile reports variously, 85,000, 86,000, and 87,000 deaths for Tibetans during the rebellion, attributed to "secret Chinese documents captured by guerrillas"...

Ritchie Valens (born Richard Steven Valenzuela; May 13, 1941 – February 3, 1959) was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. A rock and roll pioneer and a forefather of the Chicano rock movement, Valens' recording career lasted only 8 months.. During this time, he had several hits, most notably "La Bamba", which was originally a Mexican folk song. Valens transformed the song into one with a rock rhythm and beat, and it became a hit in 1958, making Valens a Pioneer of the Spanish-speaking rock and roll movement..
The Day the Music Died, so dubbed by a lyric in the Don McLean song "American Pie," is a reference to the deaths of rock and roll musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, on February 3, 1959.. Pilot Roger Peterson was also killed..The investigation of the incident determined that soon after take off, a combination of poor weather conditions and pilot error caused spatial disorientation that made pilot Roger Peterson lose control of the plane. Hubert Dwyer, owner of the flight service company, could not establish radio contact and reported the aircraft missing the next morning.. He took off in his own Cessna 180 and spotted the wreckage less than 6 miles (9.7 km) northwest of the airport in a cornfield..The tour began in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on January 23, 1959. The amount of travel created a logistical problem with the tour.. The distance between venues had not been considered when scheduling each performance..Carroll Anderson called Hubert Dwyer, owner of the Dwyer Flying Service, a company of Mason City, Iowa, to charter the plane to get to Fargo, North Dakota..

Richardson had contracted flu during the tour and asked Waylon Jennings for his seat on the plane..The plane departed from the ramp and taxied to then-Runway 17 at around 12:55 a.m. Central Time on Tuesday, February 3..The county coroner Ralph Smiley declared that all four had died instantly from "gross trauma" to the brain..Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) investigators concluded that the crash was due to a combination of poor weather conditions and pilot error, resulting in spatial disorientation..In 2007, Richardson's son had his father's body exhumed and an autopsy performed to verify the original finding.. This was done, in part, because of the long-known discovery of Holly's .22 caliber pistol by Juhl in the cornfield two months after the wreck..Holly's pregnant wife, María Elena, watched the first reports of his death on television.. A widow after 6 months of marriage, she miscarried the following day, attributed to "psychological trauma"..A large plasma-cut-steel set of Wayfarer-style glasses, similar to those Holly wore, sits at the access point to the crash site.. Paquette also created a similar stainless steel monument to the 3 musicians that is located outside the Riverside Ballroom in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where Holly, the Big Bopper, and Valens were to play on the night of February 1, 1959, but was cancelled due to further problems with the bus...

The 11th tropical storm, 9th hurricane, and 5th major hurricane of the year, Janet formed from a tropical wave east of the Lesser Antilles on September 21..
