The primary trigger for China's 1899–1901 Boxer Rebellion was the presence of westerners. The rebellion arose in response to foreign imperialism and the growing influence of Western powers and Japan in China, along with the exploitation and disrespect shown toward Chinese culture and traditions. While other factors, such as famine and societal unrest, played a role, the resentment toward foreign control and intervention was the central catalyst for the Boxers' uprising.
