Franco - Thai War (Explained how it started)
The Franco-Thai War was a War between Kingdom of Thailand and Vichy France or Occupied France over certain areas of French Indochina. After the Negotiations with France shortly before the Second World War had started the French government was willing to make appropriate changes in the boundaries between Thailand and France but only slightly portion of it.
But the prime minister of Thailand, decided that France's defeat gave the Thais an even better chance to regain the vassal state territories that were ceded to France during King Chulalongkorns reign.
The German occupation of Metropolitan France rendered France's hold on its overseas possessions, including French Indochina, and Others. The colonial administration was now cut off from outside help and outside supplies. the Japanese invasion of French Indochina in 1940 forced France to allow Japan to set up military bases on Indochina. This seemingly subservient behavior lulled the Phibun regime into believing that France would not seriously resist a military confrontation with Thailand. And Forced an War with Thailand in Oct 1940.
