[X] Peasants attacked foreign missionaries to protect Chinese traditions

Brief explanation: The Boxer Rebellion was an anti‑foreign, anti‑missionary peasant movement (the "Boxers") reacting to foreign influence, Christian missionaries, economic hardship, and weakness of the Qing state. Foreign powers formed the Eight‑Nation Alliance, sent troops to China, lifted the siege of foreign legations in Beijing, defeated the Boxers and the Qing forces, and imposed the Boxer Protocol (1901) with heavy indemnities and concessions.
