Boxer Reellion

The Boxer rebellion was a Chinese rebellion (1899-1901) against any forign influence in china. The fought forign influence in areas like trade, politics, religion and thecnology in China during the final years of the Manchu Rule. The group was made up of mainly Chinese peasents who whole haertedly beleived in anti-forignisim and anti-imperialisim. They attacked forigners building rail roads and people responsable for the forign donination of china.
In June 1900 the Boxers invaded Beijing, killing 230 forigners along with tens of thousands of Chinese Christians, Catholics and Protestants. This lead to the end of the Qing dynast and the formation of the modern Chinese Republic. After that little incident a multinational coalition semt 20 000 troops to China to get things back under controle.
I think that the Boxers were bitter that forigners were bitter that Forigners, their new way of doing things and their "strange" new culture were starting to take over the old China. The same thing happened all over the world, just not with the same, extreme, reprecutions as in China.
