Siam was smart, avoided having similar disaster happens on Burma and many kingdoms on Indian subcontinent which fell into British East India greedy hands
Imperial Japan respects Siam for her courage and policies for not been colonized by Western. This post has been edited by sportivo: Sep 10 2021, 11:50 AM |

QUOTE(frossonice @ Sep 10 2021, 11:49 AM) They also 'gained' back Northern Malay states that ceded under Anglo-Siam Treaty 1909. So in theory, Thailand were in cohort with Japan during WWII and they were never punished for that. There nothing wrong for being neutral in WW2 while regained back lost territories as bonus |

QUOTE(Sycamore @ Sep 10 2021, 12:42 PM) Last I check, that is not the definition of neutral in dictionary. if isn’t Neutral whats your definition?Siam giving free access passage to Imperial Japanese to liberate and attack western colonies in return Siam maintains sovereignty without any bloodshed on her subjects plus regains her lost territories due to unfair treaty with western colonialists. Neither Siam offer military assistance nor involved directly in WW2 combat siding Imperial Japan. Its retarded to think Siam will sacrifice her military to assist western allies to fight a war that doesn’t benefited her. Do you know why Siam rename to Thailand after end of WW2? |

QUOTE(Sycamore @ Sep 10 2021, 03:37 PM) Tell me what do you know. in the eyes of the western power aka victors, Siam is an allies to the defeated Imperial Japan thus General MacArthur demanded Siam junta dictator General Plaek Phibunsongkhram to reformed Siam and renamed to Thailand with CIA backing.btw Phibun saved the Siam monarchy from CIA intention to turn Thailand into a republic due to Siam and Imperial Japan closed relationship.

QUOTE(Sycamore @ Sep 10 2021, 04:18 PM) Err... a military junta Dictator changed the official country name from Siam to Thailand without the consent of Siamese King, some family members of the monarchy who opposed the dictator got throw into exiled.This was only part of the story. Siam was officially changed to Thailand in 1939 under nationalist movement. Though the name change was already fixed a year before. During the war time, name was changed back to Siam and reverted back to Thailand again after war II due to shift of power. I acknowledge that you do understand there is a shift in Thailand domestic political power. But you need to do better to convince us that Thailand is neutral in war II. The claim that Thailand is neutral YET she "regains her lost territories" in the process is oxymoron. To us obviously Thailand has her own interest in this. Wait, are you Thai btw? British air raided bombed Bangkok during WW2. Imperial Japan invaded Siam during WW2. Siam not neutral? I am Austronesian |
