Why didn't the Japanese lead Thailand in World War II?

An interesting country in Asia: Thailand.

Before World War II, Thailand was the only sovereign country in Southeast Asia. During World War II, he was not invaded. After World War II, he seized the opportunity and gained a lot of benefits. It can be described as a big winner in diplomacy.

What's going on here?

First of all, before World War II, before World War II, Thailand did not become a colony like Vietnam, the Philippines and India. Why? Because it lies between India, Myanmar and Vietnam.

Indo-Burma is a British colony, and Vietnam is a French colony. Thailand is caught in the middle, taking advantage of the contradiction between Britain and France, thus being immune to it.

At that time, it was considered internationally that three countries in East Asia maintained sovereignty, namely, China, Japan and Thailand. China is too big for anyone to bear alone. Japan changed from a sheep to a wolf because of the Meiji Restoration. Thailand is very smart.

After the outbreak of World War II, Japan began to invade. Due to the limited transportation of goods in the United States, Japan had to take risks and go south to Southeast Asia to seize the territory of the old empire.

At this time, it is eyeing Thailand, because Thailand is a sovereign country. Starting from Thailand, we can avoid the attention of countries such as the United States, Britain and France and gain a foothold in Thailand. The right wing can go down to Singapore and enter the Philippines, and the left wing can attack India and Myanmar.

Thus, from 65438 to 0940, Japan began to work in Thailand and signed the Japan-Thailand Friendship Treaty.

Thailand also means to use Japan.

Why? Thailand is also bitter. It lies between Britain and France, which delimit its territory from time to time. So Thailand wants to attract Japan to Southeast Asia and use Japan to recover its territory.

Japan seized Thailand's psychology and began to play pranks actively, such as letting Thailand attack Cambodia. Why attack here? Because Cambodia is a colony of France, and France has been beaten down by Germany. Don't take advantage of that bastard.

Thailand listened to Japan's analysis and gave a clap on the thigh. Japan, you are so talented. So Thailand sent troops to Cambodia. At this time, although France lost to Germany. But there is still strength overseas, especially against Thailand, which is relatively easy. The French navy killed Gechang Island in Thailand, and finally killed a quarter of the ships of the Thai navy, killing more than 300 people, and only some French sailors were injured. Hit a record of zero to 300. At this time, Japan stood up. We are asked to negotiate, because the Vichy government in France is a puppet government and listens to the command of Germany. Japan is also Germany's accomplice, so in the end France cut the land to Thailand instead. At that time, the French lost to our country in Zhennan, but they used the position and relationship of the empire to make us lose money, which made China even more defeated. Now, France has tasted this taste. In this way, Thailand believes that they are the winners, and now there is a monument to the victory of the sea battle of Gechang Island in Bangkok.

After this transaction, Thailand tasted the sweetness of cooperation with Japan.

The following year, Japan officially decided to go south. The first is landing in Thailand. Thailand also resisted for a while, but after a few hours, it left Japan and announced that it would lend it to Japan. Japan chose Thailand as its foothold in Southeast Asia before it began to attack Pearl Harbor and launch a full-scale Pacific War.

Since then, the relationship between Thailand and Japan has been very hot. The two signed the Treaty of Japan-Thailand Alliance, and the whole of Thailand was opened to Japan. The Thai army helped Japan fight. However, the Thai army's combat effectiveness is average, and Japan does not choose, so it sends people to train. Anyway, just rush up and be cannon fodder.

5 stir? In 942, Thailand declared war on Britain and the United States directly, and this courage was also a lightning strike. In this way, Thailand joined the Axis countries. So Germany has Italy in Europe (although spaghetti always adds chaos), and Japan is not fighting alone in Asia. But Thailand also found that Japan really treated them like donkeys, not only borrowing their way, but also taking their materials and using their people. Only then did Thailand know that it was inviting wolves into the house.

At this time, a Thai diplomat made a move.

Thai ambassador to the United States? In Washington, Ba Maw announced that he would sever relations with the Thai government, and declared the Thai government invalid, and wanted to set up the "Free Thailand Movement". This is the same as general de Gaulle's free France, but after all, free France still has troops and colonies abroad. This free Thailand is a group of diplomats. However, it was this move that finally helped Thailand avoid the status of a defeated country.

It is said that Thailand found nothing good to eat with Japan, so they gave it to Japan for nothing. During the day, he gave advice to Japan, and at night, he became an underground worker with connections with China and the United States. It can be said that a red heart, hands ready.

By 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. Thailand was very angry and immediately issued a declaration, saying how could Japan do this? We agreed to live together in East Asia for life. Why did you surrender? Say a good life, a short point, a short second is not a lifetime!

Japan felt very guilty, and immediately apologized and said that it was sorry to let you down. However, I really can't stand it. The United States has an atomic bomb. If we don't drop it, 100 million people will be destroyed.

When Japan fell into deep remorse and thought that it had deceived its teammates, Thailand finally didn't want to cooperate with the acting, and jumped out to show that our declaration of war against Britain and the United States didn't count.

Xuan also announced that he had played, but it didn't count. Do you think war is a house?

Do you know how many Southeast Asians Japan killed in your way? However, based on the situation in Southeast Asia and its own needs, the United States accepted this Oracle from Thailand. Things seemed to end like this, and the next scene surprised Japan again. After World War II, he began to settle accounts with Japan. China, the Philippines and other countries began to demand Japanese compensation for war losses. Among this group, there is Thailand. It turned out that Thailand claimed that Japan had requisitioned a lot of materials in Thailand and did not give money. It's really not a mistake. There are books, and they know it very well.

Only then did Japan understand that Thailand, a country that dragged itself to Buddhism, was not easy to fool. Thais who took it in those days kept the account in mind.

At that time, Japan was hunted by a large group of people, and now this former ally has come to ask for debts, which really makes me want to die.

In the end, Japan lost 654.38+05 billion yen.
