KINGDOM OF NEPAL - TRIBHUVAN BIR BIKRAM

(1911-1955)

Nepal was independent in 1923 when Britain withdrew its resident. Prime ministers from the Rana family who actually held power were ousted in 1951 by a coup d'etat by reigning ruler Tribhuvana Bir Bikram. Nepal then became a constitutional monarchy, the first elections of which took place in 1959 and a multi-party system was authorized in 1990..
