What was the cause of the Boxer Rebellion?

The cause of the Boxer Rebellion were pretty much two things: primarily the intrusion of westerners and their Christian missionaries and the weakness of the Qing dynasty. During some time in 1898, a group of Chinese people were fed up and sick of the way westerners were acting in their village. Thus in their outrage they killed the westerners and rallied up a numerous amount of other followers who had anti-foreign sentiment. They were called The Righteous Fists of Harmony or Boxers as westerners called them. The Boxers decided to march to the Forbidden City and do something about the weak government. Along the way, they continued to gather more and more Chinese people with anti-foreign attitude. When they got to Peking (Beijing) the Boxers held it hostage for 55 days. Western powers decided to secure China and sieged Peking. With the mighty force of western technology, it was fairly simple for the western powers to dominate the already weakened China.


How was France discovered?

How can you avoid the boxer rebellion?

By not travelling back in time. If you mean: how could it have been prevented, the answer is that it probably would have happened in some form anyway as it was a reaction to the condescending and aggressive way in which Westerners were treating China in matters of diplomacy, commerce and religion. Only if the West had treated China with more respect in these fields and especially had refrained from very assertively trying to convert the Chinese to Christianity, Chinese resentment and the Boxer rebellion might not have occurred.
