The Boxer Rebellion l HISTORY OF CHINA
The Boxer Rebellion was one of
China's biggest uprisings against the unwanted
European,
US-American and
Japanese Imperialism. Distrust and tensions marked all contacts with foreigners.
Secret societies were formed to propagate against the enemy. The
Yihequan, also known as
Boxers, quickly rose to one of the biggest organisations in
Northern China.
Masters of close combat, they mainly targeted converted
Chinese Christians and attacks increased wildly in the
1880s. From
1900 Empress Dowager Cixi was less and less opposed to the
Rebellion, as she hoped to fight back foreign influence. Shortly after, even the
Chinese Army started helping the rebels and foreigners were fought, killed or driven out. Consequently, an alliance of the imperial powers sent in 50.
000 soldiers to end the massacre.
Tough reprisals and treaties followed. Learn all about the
Boxer Rebellion on
