Who signed the Burney Treaty of 1826 and the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909?

Answer 1

the burney treatay was signed between burney, who representing EIC, and the Siamese Government. This agreement recognised the Malay state of kedah as well as patani as Siamese colonies. The malays denounced the agreement by staging armed uprisings. For 20 years the malays took up arms against the Siamese which subsequently forced the Siamese to come to terms with the Malays. By early 1840s the Siamese retired from Patani and kedah. However, in late 19th century, the Siamese made a come back with full backing from the British. By 1902 the british recognised the northern malays states as the Siamese states. the malays protested and warned the British that they would stage armed uprisings and seek Germany assistance to free themselves from the Siamese occupation. Realising that the Siamese would not be able to face the malays uprising and fearing that the other European powers would intervenve in the conflict that would affect british interests, the Siamese were forced to transfer the four northern malays states, except patani, to the british in 1909. The malays of patani revolted for indepemdence. The fighting is still going on until now.
