The one country Europeans "didn't colonise"
>look up their history
>basically gave extraterritorial rights to brits and frogs
>both tried in consular courts
>got away with everything
>ceded large sections of modern-day laos, cambodia and malaysia to brits and frogs
>gave both brits and frogs fixed low tariffs
>crippled their own economy to appease them both
>turned themselves into a buffer zone between them to avoid being curbstomped
>even the most generous historians call it "semi-colonial" siam
>sided with japs in WW2 to avoid an invasion, a running theme
>appeasement of westerners runs through their veins, even today
Literally the only country preventing Europeans from getting a clean sweep was colonised in everything but name. Holy shit.
