During World War II, when Japan invaded Asia, why did it spare Thailand?

The main reason is that Thailand joined the Japanese camp before World War II, so Japan let Thailand go.

Japan actually attacked Thailand, but Thailand resisted for three hours and surrendered, and also provided materials and military resources for Japan's continued aggression. When the anti-fascist countries won World War II, they immediately bowed their heads to the United States and other anti-fascist countries, and even bit back on Japan, saying that they were also victims, and that their own country was also a miserable situation in which the people could not eat and be clothed, and that the United States, in order to promote peace, acquiesced in Thailand's practice, and the important thing is that Thailand even demanded compensation from Japan.

The reason why Japan spared Thailand at that time was because of the special relationship between the two countries, and some people even joined their camp.

It's just that there is no aggression in form, and in fact it still forces Thailand to allow Japanese troops to be stationed and "borrow" Thailand.

Before the war, Thailand was one of the few independent countries in Asia, and in order to compete with France for interests, Japan co-opted and used Thailand to cultivate pro-Japanese forces and attack the French Indochina colonies. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan pressed the border with a large army and forced the Thai authorities to allow Japan to attack the French Indochina colony through Thailand, so as to form a strategic posture of mutual dependence with the British Malayan colony occupied by Japan.

After Japan's defeat was initially decided, the slippery Thai authorities secretly communicated with the United States and China, and made a promise to betray Japan on the condition that they would not be liquidated after the war, but in fact Japan was quickly defeated, and the Thai authorities did nothing.

Japan's aim was to dominate all of Asia. Thailand, on the other hand, wants to rule the whole of Southeast Asia. He followed Japan and became Japan's most loyal and reliable lackey in Asia, and Japan's comprehensive strength at that time was indeed a strong player in Asia.

Thailand** has continuously declared war on Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, and Japan has instigated it behind its back.

Thailand was an ally of Japan at the time, and Japan invaded south through Thailand. Thailand's previous invasion of Cambodia was instigated by Japan.

Thais have always been very diplomatic, they know how to stand on the side of the strong, this is a national characteristic.

At the beginning of the Pacific War, the Japanese army quickly occupied the Philippines, Thailand, Malaya, Indonesia and other places.

It has no concrete meaning, it has neither access to resources nor wealth, and it is not in line with its strategic objectives.

There must be, and the Japanese invasion of Southeast Asia is almost over.

The main purpose of attacking Burma Bai was to cut off the only foreign aid channel for China at that time, because of the southeast along the back.

The sea has been blocked by Japan. Natari could continue to get equipment to the Chinese theater of operations, and the Japanese army attacked Burma and there were still British.

The only one to dominate Asia is Myanmar, which is also one of the forward bases of the allies.

This territory must be captured, at least not so that the allies can comfortably cut off the Yunnan-Burma road from the direction of Burma - to Southeast Asia.

The long-term goal is India.

Rubber, coal, iron ore, forest resources, rice and other resources are rich in control of Thailand because it itself joined the Axis powers, considered an ally, after Thailand and Japan signed the "Thai-Japanese Offensive and Defensive Alliance", "Japan-Thailand Coordinated Operations Guidelines" and other military treaties, Thailand not only promised the Japanese army to enter Thailand, use all the communications of Thailand to attack Malaya and Burma, but also joined the Japan, Germany and Italy Triple Alliance, Thailand as a springboard for the Japanese army to attack Southeast Asian countries.

At that time, Thailand wanted to use Japan's power to contain the control of Thailand by Western and other countries, so after seeing Japan gradually become stronger, Thailand chose to rely on Japan at that time. Later, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, when Japan wanted to use Thailand, Thailand was forced by the Japanese threat at that time, so it agreed to the request of the Japanese, and Thailand became a Japanese military base, mainly providing military supplies to Japan.

After the outbreak of World War II, although Japan continued to invade, because Japan itself was an island country and its geographical location was limited, so Japan lacked resources at that time, so at this time, Japan hit Southeast Asia and other countries for oil. Because Southeast Asia and other countries were basically close to the sea, and there were oil resources on the sea, Japan began to invade Southeast Asia and other countries at that time.

When all the countries in Southeast Asia were invaded, only Thailand remained independent and was not disturbed by war, which shows that there is a certain miracle. At that time, Japan was still waving the banner of "liberating the colonies, respecting each other, and becoming independent of each other", which was extremely desirable for the people of Southeast Asia, who had been plagued by war for a long time. At that time, in order to survive, Thailand had no choice but to let Japan borrow from Thailand under the threat of Japan.

It's just that at the end of World War II, Thailand at that time knew that Japan had stumbled in a few days, and the king of Thailand at that time chose to retire, and at the same time, Thailand at that time established a new **, and this new ** also protected the underground party organization at that time, and Thailand at this time had become hostile to Japan. After the end of the war, Thailand even had good relations with many European countries at that time, and also received the understanding of the allies.

Later, after Japan went to court martial, Thailand also sought compensation from Japan as a victim. At that time, Thailand was saved from a war because of its cooperative relationship with Japan, but after Japan's defeat, Thailand became a victim.

Because during World War II, Thailand chose to cooperate with Japan, and in the later part of World War II, it began to resist Japan again.

Because during World War II, Japan was a fascist country, and in terms of geographical location, Thailand was located in the south. Japan was a little northerly, and the sea area was relatively wide, so it did not attack Thailand.

First, Japan and Thailand are separated by China, and their geographical location is very unfavorable for warfare. The second reason is that Thailand does not have much offensive value, and Japan needs to concentrate manpower and material resources to attack China.
