Time to draw the map back to 1947, and peace will come not only to the middle east, but to the world, as long as all the Land grabbers dont come to the USA!! Let them go home to poland and russia, where they were born!!Patani separatist groups want a independent republic in Pattani. Not to become a part of Malaysia.
It seems the British took it from the Thai's originally.
"Patani came under Thai rule briefly during the Sukhothai period, and more extensively during the later Ayuthaya period."
"In 1791 and 1808, there were rebellions within Pattani against Thai rule, following which Pattani was divided into 7 largely autonomous states (Mueang): Pattani, Nongchik, Saiburi (Teluban), Yala (Jala), Yaring (Jambu), Ra-ngae (Legeh) and Raman. All were ruled by the King of Ligor."
"After the British had taken a large part of southern Thailand in 1909, Great Britain and Thailand signed the Bangkok Treaty of 1909. The British recognised Thailand's sovereignty over Pattani, and, in return, Thailand gave up a territory called Kelantan to the British. Kelantan is a state of Malaysia. All seven mueang were reunited into a monthon and incorporated into the kingdom. Later, the central government in Bangkok renamed certain localities with Thai versions of their names and merged some of the mueang."
"When the monthon system was dissolved in 1933, three provinces remained: Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat."
Southeast Asian history is very complex. Nobody agrees on any of it.
