In 1874, there was an incident in Siam that culminated into a political crisis involving the conservative Price Vichaichan and the reforming King Chulalongkorn. In OTL, the latter won out and made a lot of changes to Siam's governance, as well as ultimately keeping the kingdom out from the many European powers surrounding it.

But what if Vichaichan and the conservatives win the Front Palace Crisis? Would the western-style reforms still be implemented? Would Siam still be independent or fall to another power?
