Emperor

Their legacies remain etched in stone, their victories and conquests preserved in countless records.

Why Was Thailand Never Colonized?
Countries across Asia have had quite a complicated relationship when it came to European powers throughout colonial times, with France colonizing what is now Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Britain would control present-day India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Borneo. The Dutch held Indonesia, and after the Spanish left, the Philippines would become a colony of the United States. But one country would stand out, remaining fully independent during colonial times, the country of Thailand. Known as the Kingdom of Siam until 1939, there were many factors that allowed the country to continue its self-governance. One example is simply due to the geographical location of the kingdom. Situated between French Indochina and British-ruled Burma, Siam would serve as a buffer state by default. Frankly, the Europeans were almost glad to have Siam separate the two colonies, as it helped avoid the trouble of border disputes and allowed Siam to steer clear of direct conflict with the Europeans.
