The Boxer Rebellion (1899-1901) was a violent anti-foreign and anti-Christian uprising in China. Many Chinese, frustrated with foreign influence and the presence of Christian missionaries, formed self-defense groups known as "Boxers." Tensions escalated as Empress Dowager Cixi expressed support for the Boxers, leading to increased violence and hostility towards Westerners and Chinese Christians. The situation prompted international intervention, ultimately leading to a coalition of foreign powers invading China to suppress the rebellion.
The Boxer Rebellion was the period in China where people were indignant about foreign influence and Christian missionaries. Many Chinese felt indignant and started fighting back against these foreigners; as this violence rose, there was great consternation among the Westerners and Chinese Christians. Self-protection groups formed, and scary rumors spread of people getting killed. The situation was aggravated when Empress Dowager Cixi supported the movement of the Boxers, hence making the problem even bigger. shoprtem
