I bet none of you have heard much about Thailand, have you? If you haven't, it may be another thing just like our cultures, heritages and places. But in the ways of the world, Thailand is not a powerful just like the countries in Western European Nations and the United States, In this ATL, I will bring you about "If the Western colonial expansion of Asia just only India and not going for further more" and "Japanese Empire wasn't exist either." Thailand will be now an empire, competing with other powers in western hemisphere
I have talked enough. So simply, Thailand will become a superpower (Along with the United States and Soviet Union).
This is all about "Pax Siamese".
