Abstract :
The main reason for the American intervention in Thailand is its fear of losing all of Southeast Asia, so the United States had an opportunity to gain a strategic foothold and a strong ally in a country that had no orientation toward communism, and despite the good relations between the two countries, Thailand stood by Japan during World War II and declared war on the Allied countries, but the United States did not declare war on Thailand, but rather assisted and supported the Free Thailand Movement located inside the United States, and helped the Thais free from the domination of both France and Britain. In this paper, we will cover three topics as follows: First: The American-Thai rapprochement during the era of President Harry Truman. Second: the political conflict between Phippon and Brady, and third: the internal political conflict in Thailand.
Key words: American Support to Thailand, Bangkok Conference, Phippon Policy.
