The Boxer Rebellion in China was fueled by a combination of industrialization, nationalism, Imperialism, and militarism. As Western powers and Japan expanded their influence in China through imperialism, they undermined Chinese sovereignty and traditional ways of life, sparking nationalist sentiments among the Chinese populace. The rapid industrialization in these foreign nations highlighted China's technological and military weaknesses, leading to resentment and a desire for self-strengthening. The Boxers, motivated by nationalism and supported by militaristic ideals, sought to expel foreign powers and restore China's dignity, culminating in the violent uprising against foreign influence and missionaries in 1900.
During imperialism, the Boxer Rebellion was put down in 1900. The rebellion occurred in Northern China, and was opposed to Christianity as well as imperialism.

Militarism was expensive and the political leaders eventually had to make a justification for the necessity of it. Certainly, a Slavic Rebellion in Austria-Hungary could not be tolerated, but the Russian Empire felt it a duty to defend and protect the Slavs. France and Germany clashed in Africa and there was the issue of Alsace-Lorraine.
