AHC: Independent Tibet

Here is the scenario.
1. 1911, Xinhai Revolution succeeds.
2. Tibet and Mongolia declares independence.
3. 1912, Treaty of Gulzha - China grants Greater Autonomy to Mongolia and Tibet (of course with the Great Britain and Russian Empire backing) and accepts them become protectorate of Russian Empire and Great Britian respectively. Ban any Chinese settlement.
4. Britain will station Indian Troops on Lhasa to prevent any aggression from ROC. Function as de-facto independent state. (there is no need to build railway there)
5. At the Conference of Teheran US, UK, USSR agrees to grant independence to Mongolia and Tibet.
6. After WW II, KMT will grudgingly accepts US, UK, USSR offer and holds referendum under international mandate. Tibetians will vote for Independence. Internationally recognizes Tibet.
 
It was unreformed state and did fragment but nominally stayed as one country, which led to unified China under Communists. So if 1911 plays out as OTL I don't see divided China.

I meant that an un-reformed People's Republic of China fragments into a number of successor states ala. the Soviet Union. Sorry, I should've been more clear. :eek:
 
I'd think India would want to inherit British interests in Tibet post independence (post ww2 is a bit ignorant of butterflies)

Indeed.
It gives as very interesting Sino-Indian conflict in post WWII world.
Chinese interest make Tibet under its influence or in worst case pro-China neutral state (like OTL Finland). So how China will achieve its goal?
Also what role will play USSR in these case?
