Official recognition of the Tibet state

No offence to the Tibetan independence movement, but Tibet was not legally recognized as an independent entity even before World War I. Tibet was part of the Britisch and Chinese empires: "south Tibet (now Arunachal Pradesh) was annexed into the Raj and the rest was legally part of the Chinese empire and after that, the Republic of China.

Therefore, the WWI and WWII maps are wrong in portraying the political situation. The fix is to remove the white border line between the "Tibet state" and the rest of "China". I am not a member of wiki commons, so hopefully someone will see this and make the change.
