The Boxers and other secret Chinese societies were organized primarily in response to foreign imperialism, social unrest, and the destabilizing effects of Western influence in China during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They sought to promote Chinese nationalism, resist foreign domination, and restore traditional values. The Boxers, in particular, aimed to expel foreign missionaries and Chinese converts to Christianity, believing that these influences weakened Chinese culture and sovereignty. Their movement culminated in the Boxer Rebellion of 1900, which sought to eradicate foreign presence and restore Chinese rule.
The Chinese Boxers (also known as the Righteous Harmony Society or the Righteous Fists of Harmony) were a group of Chinese nationalists that opposed American and European influence in China. They also opposed the continued teaching of Christianity in China. They initiated the unsuccessful Boxer Rebellion of 1899-1901, in an attempt to throw out all vestiges of Westerner influence from China. A coalition force of the Japan, Russia, Great Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy defeated the Boxers.
This Groups of Chinese were called the Boxers.
