France, even more than Britain, poses a serious danger to Siamese independence.
The French had occupied Cochinchina (southern Vietnam, around the Mekong Delta) in 1863.
From there they extended their influence into Cambodia, over which Vietnam and Siam had long been struggling for control.
Assuming Vietnam's traditional interests, France had obliged the Cambodian king, Norodom, to accept a French protectorate.
Siam formally relinquishes its claim to Cambodia four years later, in return for French recognition of Siamese sovereignty over the Cambodian provinces of Siem Reap and Battambang.
