The CIA has been involved in quite a lot of "international interventions", some more successful than others. Many are familiar with their adventures in Latin America, but few know that they were also involved in Tibet... and that is what we'll explore in this episode of SideQuest.

EDIT: To clarify, the Tibetan Resistance existed prior to the CIA's involvement in Tibet; it was a citizens' uprising-turned-army that happened to receive funding and training from the CIA due to their common geopolitical goals.
