dc.description.abstractThis thesis focuses on the influence of the British in Kedah during the years 1770-1940. The British influence in Kedah began when they decided on trade ties with the ruler of Kedah. Consequently, the British succeeded in influencing the ruler of Kedah to trade with British merchant companies. With the presence of trade, the ruler of Kedah had established diplomatic ties with the British for the main reason of seeking protection from Siamese raids. The British agreed to have ties as they viewed it to be a stepping stone to further its influence in Kedah. These ties enabled the British to influence the Kedah administrative institution. The extent of British influence in Kedah can be traced right from the signing of the Bangkok Treaty in 1909. To strengthen its grip on Kedah, a colonial bureaucratic system was introduced. As a result, its influence spread to the administration of the state, districts and constituencies. The British had also influenced the economy, education, legislation of laws, road works and health. This widespread influence enabled the British to consolidate their presence in Kedah till 1940 without facing any arm rebellion of the local populace.en_US
