====Tibetan conflict====
{{Further|Sino-Nepalese War}}
After the death of Prithvi Narayan Shah, the Shah dynasty began to expand their kingdom into what is present-day [[North India]]. Between 1788 and 1791, Nepal invaded Tibet and robbed [[Tashi Lhunpo Monastery]] of [[Shigatse]]. Tibet sought Chinese help and the [[Qianlong Emperor]] of the Chinese [[Qing dynasty|Qing Dynasty]] appointed [[Fuk'anggan]] commander-in-chief of the Tibetan campaign. Heavy damages were inflicted on both sides. The Nepali forces retreated step by step back to Nuwakot to stretch Sino-Tibetan forces uncomfortably. Chinese launched an uphill attack during the daylight and failed to succeed due to a strong counterattack with [[Kukri|khukuri]] at Nuwakot.<ref name="nepalarmythree"/> The Chinese army suffered a major setback when they tried to cross a monsoon-flooded Betrawati, close to the Gorkhali palace in Nuwakot.<ref>Stiller, L.F., "The Rise of the House of Gorkha."
