After [[Myanmar|Burma]] lost the [[First Anglo-Burmese War]] (1824–26) relations opened between the [[Rattanakosin Kingdom]] of Siam and the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|United Kingdom]] with a treaty of alliance in February 1826 and [[Burney Treaty|another treaty]] in June negotiated by East India Company emissary [[Henry Burney]]. This was followed by the [[Bowring Treaty]] of 1855 to liberalise trade. In 1893, [[Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice, 5th Marquess of Lansdowne|Lord Lansdowne]] of the [[British Raj]] finalized the border between [[Myanmar|Burma]] and Siam; the [[Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909]] then dissected the northern [[Peninsular Malaysia|Malay states]]. * In 1917 the [[Rattanakosin Kingdom#From kingdom to modern nation (1910–1925)|modern Siamese kingdom]] declared war on Germany during [[World War I]], which secured it a seat at the [[Paris Peace Conference, 1919|Versailles Peace Conference]]. Foreign Minister [[Devawongse Varopakarn]] used this as an opportunity to argue for the repeal of the 19th century treaties and restoration of full Siamese sovereignty. While Britain and France delayed until 1925, the United States obliged in 1920. Following the outbreak of [[Thailand in World War II|World War II]], relations with Britain, France and the United States deteriorated rapidly – though former Queen [[Rambai Barni]] was nominal head of the [[Free Thai Movement|Seri Thai]] resistance movement in Great Britain. Japan allowed Thailand to resume sovereignty over the sultanates of northern Malaya that had been lost in the 1909 treaty with Britain, and to invade and annex the [[Shan States]] in northern Burma. After the Japanese surrender, Allied military responsibility for Thailand fell to the British, who favoured treating the kingdom as a defeated enemy. Americans, however, supported Thailand's new government; during the [[Cold War]] relations with the United Kingdom took a back seat to those with the United States. |}
