  • Facing the threat of Western colonial expansionism in Southeast Asia during the later part of the 19th century, King Rama V of Siam (now Thailand), sought new weapons as part of a modernization program to ensure the kingdom's independence.

  • Di fronte alle mire espansionistiche delle potenze occidentali nel sudest asiatico alla fine del XIX secolo, il re Rama V di Siam (oggi Thailandia) decise di procurarsi nuove armi, affiancate da un progetto di ammodernamento dell'esercito, per preservare l'indipendenza della sua nazione. Dopo aver sperimentato con vari fucili, l'esercito siamese decise di acquistare un fucile basato sull'allora avveniristico Gewehr 98. Con varie modifiche, adattamenti e munizioni diverse, i Mauser siamesi servirono Siam fino alla fine del Secondo conflitto mondiale. (it)
