History of Thailand

Thailand was once called "Siam". This is an ancient civilization. Humans have lived here for a long time. Historically, Thailand has four feudal dynasties, namely Sukhothai Dynasty (1238- 1350), Dacheng Dynasty (1350- 1767) and Wuli Dynasty (1767-65437).

In 1238, the Sukhothai dynasty was established and a relatively unified country began to form. 1350 when the Sukhothai dynasty declined, King Wu Tong took the opportunity to become independent and established the Great City Kingdom, thus creating the Great City Dynasty (also known as Dacheng Dynasty) which lasted for 4 17 years. It is a monarchy, and all provinces in China are subordinate to the central feudal regime. The rulers of the provinces are appointed by the king. At the same time, a complete political and legal system has been established. Dacheng Dynasty was destroyed by Myanmar in 1767. Zheng Xin, with the slogan of recovering rivers and mountains and restoring Siam, recruited troops. After several years of war, he reunified Thailand in 1776 and established a dynasty that annexed Wu Li. Although the Wuli dynasty lasted only 15 years, it was indeed the most powerful dynasty in Thai history. 178 1 year, there was a palace coup in King Tombury. At that time, he was sent to Cambodia by Zheng Xin general Zhao Piye Chakri and rushed back to Wu Li after hearing the news. He took the opportunity to kill Zheng Xin, then became king himself, established Chakri dynasty, became Rama I, and later moved to Bangkok, so Chakri dynasty, that is, Bangkok dynasty, continues to this day (the current king Bhumibol is the ninth king of this dynasty).

Thailand was invaded by Portugal, the Netherlands, Britain and France in the19th century. 185 1 year, Rama iv Monkou succeeded to the throne and signed a trade agreement with Britain and France, allowing them to enjoy extraterritorial jurisdiction. At the same time, Thailand began to implement reforms, and Rama IV also hired western consultants to help realize national modernization. 1868, Rama V succeeded to the throne and continued to carry out the reform plan, absorbing a lot of western experience to carry out social reform, which had a great impact on the historical development of Thailand. 1896, Britain and France signed a treaty, stipulating that Siam is the buffer state between British Burma and French Indian zhina, thus making Thailand the only non-colonial country in Southeast Asia. 1In June, 932, the People's Party staged a coup, changing absolute monarchy into constitutional monarchy.

No matter how it changes, the king will always be a symbol of Thailand's supreme rule. Thailand has almost always been under the control of a constantly changing military regime. The establishment of a constituent assembly government is often short-lived. 1938, Yun Piwen came to power,1June 939, renamed Thailand, meaning "King of Thailand". 194 1 was occupied by Japan, and Thailand announced to join the Axis. Siam's name was restored on 1945. May 1949 was renamed Thailand. 1957 September 16, due to differences within the ruling military group, army commander Shari? Did he stage a coup to overthrow Peven? Gan Song municipal government. 1963 After Sarah died, his deputy Tanon? Kitikhachorn succeeded to the throne and maintained the military regime until 1973. During this period, the Thai economy developed rapidly. However, due to the autocratic political measures taken by the government to govern the country, a large-scale student movement in June of 1973 was finally caused. So the military dictatorship was interrupted and the parliamentary system was restored in Thailand. 1975 general election, Kerry? Ba Maw and Cheney? Ba Maw became prime minister one after another.

Chama is the Prime Minister's Cabinet. 1980 Jiang Sa resigned, and Bing, Minister of National Defense and Commander of the Army? Yin Sulannong became prime minister. Although the government has changed several times, the economy has never suffered a major impact. 199 1 On February 23rd, 2008, there was another coup in Thailand, which overthrew the wrong guess generated by the 1988 general election. The government of Chunwan set up a national committee composed of soldiers. On March 6, the interim government was established, Anan? Pan Yalachun served as Prime Minister. 1On April 7, 992, the king approved Su Qinda, who did not participate in the election, as prime minister, which was opposed by the four-party alliance, and the gecko people reacted strongly. 0.2 million/200 thousand people gathered and marched, which clashed with the military and police, causing bloodshed.
