'''Nepal''', officially the '''Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal''', is a landlocked country in [[South Asia]] situated in the [[Himalayas]]. It borders [[People's Republic of China|China]] to the north and [[Republic of India|India]] to the south but is also narrowly separated from [[Kingdom of Bhutan|Bhutan]] and [[People's Republic of Bangladesh|Bangladesh]] by a narrow corridor of Indian land.<br />

==History==<br />
<br />
=== Kingdom of Nepal ===<br />
In 1769, Nepal was united under the Hindu Shah dynasty. After being defeated by the [[British East India Company]], Nepal became a [[British]] protectorate. In 1846, most of the royal family was killed in the Kot massacre and military administrator [[Jang Bahadur Rana]] took power, establishing the Rana dynasty. The Rana dynasty was a constitutional monarchy and it assisted the British in their invasions of [[Tibet]] and [[Afghanistan]] and in the [[First World War]]. During this period, land was given to private owners and Nepal became a [[Feudalism|feudal]] country. In the 1920s, the British recognized Nepal as an independent state.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
The Rana dynasty ended in 1951 when King [[Tribhuvan]] fled to India. After an armed conflict began, India intervened and established a provisional government that included members of the royal family. In March 1951, Tribhuvan was given the ability to issue edicts, and full executive power was given to the king in September 1952. Tribhuvan died in 1955 and was succeeded by [[Mahendra]], who ruled until 1971. In 1959, Mahendra allowed elections to held, which were won by the [[Nepali Congress]]. In 1960, King Mahendra dissolved the parliament and returned to being an absolute monarch.<ref name=":0" /><br />

=== Contemporary history ===<br />
In 1990, a new constitution was adopted that established an elected government and limited the powers of the monarch.<ref name=":0">{{Citation|author=Spyros Sakellaropoulos|year=2011|title=On the Causes of the Civil War in Nepal and the Role of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)|title-url=https://ojs.library.ubc.ca/index.php/clogic/article/view/190926/188505|page=1–9}}</ref> After years of struggle against the monarchy culminating in a [[2006 Nepalese revolution|revolution in 2006]], led principally by the [[Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre)]] (CPN MC) Puspa kamal Dahal ( Parchand ) , in 2008 Nepal became a federal republic following pressure by the Nepalese Maoists.<ref>{{News citation|newspaper=Reuters|title=Nepal abolishes centuries-old Hindu monarchy|date=2008-05-29|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nepal-king-idUSISL5996320080529|retrieved=2022-05-28}}</ref><ref>{{News citation|newspaper=National Public Radio (NPR)|title=Nepal to abolish monarchy|date=2007-12-24|url=https://www.npr.org/2007/12/24/17576006/nepal-to-abolish-monarchy}}</ref><br />

== Politics ==<br />
Nepal's politics is dominated by a number of [[Maoism|Maoist]] parties, most notably the CPN (UML) and CPN (MC), with CPN (UML) chairman [[K. P. Sharma Oli]] currently holding the position of Prime Minister. However, despite holding a large percentage of parliamentary power for over a decade the Maoists have so far failed to turn Nepal into a [[socialist state]].<ref>{{Web citation|author=Khagendra Prasai|newspaper=Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung|title=Is Marxism Alive in Nepal?|date=2023-11-13|url=https://www.rosalux.de/en/news/id/51228/is-marxism-alive-in-nepal}}</ref><br />
