Recent Thailand
Japan occupied Siam briefly
in 1941. By 1942 a nominal alliance had been established between Siam & Japan. Following
WWII Siam experienced some political unrest. In 1950 King Phumiphon introduced a reformist &
pro-Western policy. Since
WWII Thai politics have been dominated by an oligarchy of military
officers & a group of civilians with military ties.
Many foreign countries have invested in
Thailand & through industrialization this nation has one of Asia's fastest
growing
economies.
