The Fall of the Tibetan Empire | An Animated History
The Tibetan Empire was once one of the most powerful political and economic forces in the ancient world. However, in the mid-9th century, the entire empire suddenly collapsed, fracturing into minor kingdoms and warring border states. Why did the Tibetan Empire collapse? And how did the fall of the Tibetan Empire change the Buddhist cultural world? Using primary sources and recent historical research, this episode explores those questions, focusing on the reign of Tibet's last great Emperor, Tritsuk Detsen, also known as Ralpachen (802-838), who's controversial reign and untimely death would plunge the empire into civil war.

For a brief period of time, the Tibetan Empire was one of the greatest military and political forces in the entire world, rivalling the Chinese Tang Dynasty, the Islamic Abbasid Caliphate, and even the once-mighty Roman Empire.

For a brief period of time, the Tibetan Empire was one of the greatest military and political forces in the entire world, rivalling the Chinese Tang Dynasty, the Islamic Abbasid Caliphate, and even the once-mighty Roman Empire. In the 9th century, however, the entire empire suddenly collapsed, vanishing into history and myth. How did Tibet emerge to become one of the dominant political factions in Central Asia? And why did the empire collapse?
In this episode of The Animated History of Tibet, we explore the first 100 years of recorded Tibetan history, beginning with the rise of the Tibetan Empire in the Yarlung Valley under the reign of Songtsen Gampo and the later consolidation of its territories during the regency of the Gar Clan. We also explore the emergence of Buddhism in Tibet and its vital role in shaping the early imperial state.
The writer and director of the series, Dr. Alexander K. Smith, holds a PhD in Tibetan and Himalayan history from the University of Paris, France, and an MA from Oxford University.

For a brief period of time, the Tibetan Empire was one of the greatest military and political forces in the entire world, rivalling the Chinese Tang Dynasty, the Islamic Abbasid Caliphate, and even the once-mighty Roman Empire. In the 9th century, however, the entire empire suddenly collapsed, vanishing into history and myth. How did Tibet emerge to become one of the dominant political factions in Central Asia? And why did the empire collapse?
In this episode of The Animated History of Tibet we cover the reigns of the emperors Tri Dusong (aka Tridu Songtsen) and Tri Songdetsen, during which Buddhism emerges as an influential religious and cultural force and the Tibetan Empire survives a violent civil war to become one of the dominant powers in Central Asia.
Watch episode one, "The Rise of the Tibetan Empire" here: https://youtu.be/WZJSKTRwDAI
The writer and director of the series, Dr. Alexander K. Smith, holds a PhD in Tibetan and Himalayan history from the University of Paris, France, and an MA from Oxford University.
For an in-depth discussion of the early Tibetan Empire and the topics discussed in this episode, check out part two of our interview with Professor Brandon Dotson, a specialist in imperial-era history, at Georgetown University: https://youtu.be/2Bcsw-GSgXQ

There are, however, a significant number of historical articles, book chapters, and primary Tibetan-language sources that have also contributed to our understanding of Tibetan imperial history.
