The Boxer Uprising, which occurred in China between 1899 and 1901, was a violent anti-foreign and anti-Christian movement led by a secret society known as the "Boxers." The movement aimed to expel foreign influence and missionaries from China, fueled by resentment towards colonial powers and socioeconomic issues. The uprising culminated in a siege of Beijing and prompted an international coalition of eight nations to intervene militarily, ultimately leading to the suppression of the Boxers and the imposition of harsh penalties on China through the Boxer Protocol of 1901.

A more accurate name for the Boxer Rebellion could be the "Boxer Uprising," as it reflects the movement's grassroots nature and the local Chinese people's resistance against foreign imperialism and influence. The term "uprising" suggests a broader struggle for sovereignty and cultural identity rather than a mere rebellion against authority. Additionally, it highlights the participation of various Chinese groups beyond the Boxers themselves, emphasizing the collective effort against external pressures.
