The primary trigger for the Boxer Rebellion (1899-1901) in China was the growing resentment against the presence of Westerners in China and the influence they wielded over Chinese society, culture, and politics. This included the presence of foreign missionaries, traders, and exploiters, as well as the imposition of foreign privileges and economic control. The Boxers, a secret society also known as the "Righteous and Harmonious Fists," aimed to expel foreigners and eliminate foreign influence in China.
While the prolonged famine and social unrest in China contributed to the general atmosphere of discontent, the immediate motivation for the Boxer Rebellion was the hostility toward foreign powers and their interference in Chinese affairs. Therefore, the best answer to your question is **the presence of westerners**.
