Inglorious Bastard of the East

Overview of "Inglorious Bastard of the East"
At one point of our history, King Vajiravudh had made an obscure decision by sending his "Expeditionary Forces" to help fighting for the Entente against the Central Powers in Europe, the only thing with that is, the war is over. He's late into the party. But that was of no concern to the Entente, they let him come and join the negotiations anyway. He's able to get rid of disadvantageous agreements from the European powers. He succeeded in doing so. However, instead of going just fixing unfair treaties, in this timeline, King Vajiravudh decided to go much farther than fixing the trade agreements, he went beyond that and rebuilt the Rattanakosin Empire once again and reclaimed the glory of Chakri Dynasty. Before the periods of World War II, Empire of Siam has become one of the Great Powers and played a greater role in the events that led to radical changes in the Siamese society and become a real force behind the liberation of the rest of Southeast Asian nations.

His maneuver over the strategy of playing both European powers; the British and the French, into giving Siam some of the former Siamese territories they conquered, which led to the War of Southeast Asian Liberation. Siam was later named in both British and French press as "Inglorious Bastard of the East" due to the "invasive nature of their King and his invasive strategy to won back his former lands."

However, as much as to the King's popularity in the early years as the sixth monarch of a Southeast Asian Kingdom, there was still an opposition. Due to the disillusioned military cadets, whom they perceived that the new King would introduce the new constitution and establish democratic rule. The Palace Revolt of 1912 saw, for the first time, an attempt to overthrow the monarchy and establish a new republic. While the revolt itself was suppressed, King Vajiravudh now saw this as an opportunity to rebuild the nation a la United Kingdom-style. Thus the Palace Revolt of 1912 was where it all began.
