He was a member of the Royal Siamese Army wing of Khana Ratsadon, and a leader of the Siamese revolution of 1932 transforming Thailand from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy. He became the third Prime Minister of Thailand in 1938 as Commander of the Royal Siamese Army, established a ''de facto'' [[military dictatorship]] inspired by the Italian [[fascism]] of [[Benito Mussolini]], promoted Thai nationalism and sinophobia, and allied Thailand with [[Imperial Japan]] in [[World War II]]. Phibun launched a modernization campaign known as the Thai Cultural Revolution that included a series of cultural mandates, changing the country's name from "Siam" to "Thailand", and promotion of the common Thai language. He is the longest serving Prime Minister of Thailand to-date at 15 years and one month.
