Friday, July 3, 1914. Tibetan borders, Austrian funeral.

A state funeral was held for the murdered Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Vienna.

The Simla Convention (西姆拉條約) was concluded between the United Kingdom and Tibet, but rejected by China, defining Tibetan borders and providing that Tibet would be divided into "Outer Tibet" and "Inner Tibet", with the outer region in the  "hands of the Tibetan Government at Lhasa under Chinese suzerainty" and "Inner Tibet", under the jurisdiction of the Chinese government. 

The convention fixed the border between Tibet and China and Tibet and British India.

It would last for only a year and never really be accepted.

Last edition:

Thursday, July 2, 1914. The military recommendation.
