A significant response to growing European influence in China was the Boxer Rebellion of 1899-1901. This anti-foreign, anti-colonial uprising aimed to expel foreign powers and their influence, particularly targeting missionaries and foreign nationals. The Qing Dynasty, initially ambivalent, eventually supported the Boxers, which led to foreign intervention and the subsequent defeat of the uprising, further entrenching foreign control in China. This event highlighted the rising nationalistic sentiments and the desire for sovereignty among the Chinese populace.

The European system of spheres of influence limited the ports for American trade in China. This severely threatened U.S. interests in China.
