Britain did not colonize Thailand.
Britain was prompted to colonize Singapore and Burma primarily due to strategic trade interests and the expansion of its empire in Southeast Asia. The establishment of Singapore in 1819 served as a crucial naval base and trading post along the route to China, enhancing British control over regional trade. Meanwhile, Burma was annexed in a series of wars during the 19th century to secure Britain's interests against rival powers, particularly in the context of the opium trade and the need for additional resources. These territories ultimately contributed to Britain's broader goal of maintaining dominance in the region.
It was 1948 when Burma gained independence from Britain. Japan helped Burma gain this independence by fighting alongside against Britain.
