Why did the United States formulate the open door policy toward China, ultimately contributing to the Box of rebellion?

Answer 1

The United States formulated the Open Door Policy toward China in order to ensure that all countries had equal access to trade with China. This policy was intended to prevent any one country from gaining too much influence over China and to protect the rights of all countries to trade with China. Ultimately, this policy contributed to the Boxer Rebellion because it was seen as a foreign interference in Chinese affairs. The Chinese people felt that the Open Door Policy was a violation of their sovereignty and resented the presence of foreign powers in their country. This resentment eventually led to the Boxer Rebellion, a violent uprising against foreign influence in China.
