Anglo-Thai Peace Treaty

The territories gained by Thailand were taken from French Indochina during a brief war with France in late 1940 and early 1941 and from British Malaya during the Japanese attack in December 1941.

[2] The British achieved less than they had hoped, largely because the United States opposed any punitive action against Thailand.

[3] The treaty did require the free delivery of up to 1.5 million tons rice, which was in surplus in Thailand, to British Malaya, where there was a shortage.

[5][6] After its enactment, the United States and Britain restored diplomatic relations with Thailand on 5 January.

After the treaty, the United States lent $10,000,000 to Thailand for the reconstruction of her transportation network, heavily damaged by American bombing.
