HISTORY
The original ethnic group of the Himalayan Mountain region is the Kirati. They settled in Nepal and formed a stable society until the 12th century, when the country began to break apart into a number of smaller states. It took almost 200 years for the country to become partially unified again under the Malla Dynasty, which created the three kingdoms of Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur.
The country was finally unified by Prithvi Narayan Shah in the 18th century. The unified country began to take control of mountain passes in nearby Tibet and India, bringing them into conflict with the British. Defeat in the resulting Anglo-Nepalese War saw the nation retreat back to its modern borders. For many decades afterward, the country developed as a pro-British kingdom, enjoying prolonged peace and stability. This changed when China invaded Tibet in 1950, and newly independent India, seeking to counterbalance the threat, achieved more influence in Nepal by sponsoring their favored leaders among the Nepalese royals.
In 1996, the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) attempted to replace the royal parliamentary system with a people's socialist republic. The civil war that followed left more than 12,000 dead. A peace deal was agreed in 2006, although the Maoists continued to press for abolition of the monarchy. Their ambition was finally realized two years later when the monarchy was replaced with a democratic republic.
