Answer:

The Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) is an autonomous region of the People's Republic of China, meaning that it has the autonomy to establish its own legislation, language, economy, and education.

Step-by-step explanation:

It was established by the Chinese government in 1965, after the uprising against the Chinese rule in March 1959 had led the Dalai Lama and many Tibetans to flee to northern India.
