True. The Boxer Rebellion, which took place from 1899 to 1901, was fueled by widespread resentment among Chinese nationals towards foreign powers and missionaries who were seen as encroaching on Chinese sovereignty and culture. The movement, led by the "Boxers," aimed to expel foreign influence and restore traditional Chinese values. This anti-foreign sentiment culminated in violent uprisings against both foreigners and Chinese Christians.
The members of the secret society that attacked foreigners and Chinese Christians in Beijing were primarily part of the Boxers, also known as the Yihetuan or "Righteous and Harmonious Fists." This anti-foreign and anti-Christian movement arose in the late 19th century, fueled by widespread resentment against foreign imperialism and missionary activities. The Boxer Rebellion, which peaked in 1900, saw these groups engaging in violent uprisings against foreign nationals and Chinese converts to Christianity. The conflict ultimately led to an eight-nation alliance intervening to suppress the uprising and protect their interests.
