The Boxers, a Chinese secret society, primarily disliked Western powers due to their encroachment on China's sovereignty and cultural integrity. They resented foreign exploitation, which included unequal treaties, territorial concessions, and economic domination. Additionally, the spread of Christianity and Western influence was perceived as a threat to traditional Chinese values and social order. This resentment culminated in violent uprisings against both foreigners and Chinese Christians in the late 19th century.

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.


What did The Boxers believe in the boxer rebellion?

The Boxers, so called by Europeans, who observed that the ill-equipped rebels often fought with their fists, rose up in opposition to foreign influence in China. During the second half of the 19th Century, the weak Qing Dynasty was forced to make a series of "unequal treaties" with foreign powers, which allowed for exploitative trade agreements, Christian missionaries, and legal immunity for foreigners. The Boxers attacked foreign merchants, missionaries, and Chinese Christians, who had converted under the tutelage of Western missionaries. Foreign embassies were placed under siege, and the Chinese military split on whether to help the Boxers or to put down the rebellion. After a Western and Japanese intervention force put down the rebellion, Chinese authorities claimed they opposed the Boxers all along, but in reality, the Empress Dowager and some of her generals supported the uprising, while other generals fought the Boxers.
