When people think of the Axis powers three nations come up: Germany, Italy, and Japan. However, did you know that Thailand was also an Axis power fighting against the French, British and Chinese in the Asian Theatre of War? In this video I look at the role of Thailand in the Second World War, its initial neutrality, the Invasion of French Indo-China in the Franco-Thai War of 1940, the Japanese Invasion of Thailand in 1941 and Thailand's subsequent alliance with Imperial Japan supporting its army fighting the British in Malaya and Burma.
