Franco-Thai War

The Franco-Thai War was a war fought between Franceball and  Thailandball over certain clay of  French Indochinaball.

Buildup to War
Long after Siamball lost a ton of clay to  Franceball, especially his  Lao clay, he became much smaller. Sooner, in 1932, he had a bloodless military coup that led to him changing to a constitutional monarchy. Just a few years before that, he changed his flag.

In 1938, Siamball would have a new prime minister, Plaek Phibunsongkhram. During Phibun's premiership, Siamball faced nationalism and Phibun was an admirer of  Italyball's  fascism. In 1939, Siamball's name changed to Thailandball.

During World War II, Franceball got raped by  Nazi Germanyball. In 1940, Empire of Japanball also continued their imperialism, invading  French Indochinaball. Meanwhile in Thailandball, many Thais consider it as a precious opportunity to regain territories lost to  Franceball during the reign of King Rama V. Publicity campaigns led by nationalists took place in Bangkokball on 8 October 1940. The Thai government proposed that, if  French Indochinaball was lacking protective capability of itself, so they should return those territories to Thailandball. This proposal was strongly rejected by the French. The French mobilized its troops to the border of  Thailandball's clay at  Aranyaprathetball, so prime minister Plaek Phibunsongkhram regarded it as an act of war.
