The Boxer Rebellion, which took place in China from 1899 to 1901, was driven by a belief in the need to expel foreign influence and missionaries from China. The Boxers, a secret society known as the "Righteous and Harmonious Fists," believed that through physical and spiritual training, they could become invulnerable to bullets and that their actions would restore China's sovereignty and cultural integrity. They sought to protect traditional Chinese values against the encroachment of Western powers and the spread of Christianity. Ultimately, the rebellion was suppressed by an international coalition of foreign troops.
The Boxer Rebellion was an uprising that took place in China in 1900. As European nations increased their influence on China, feelings against foreigners grew among the Chinese. An organization called the Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists was formed to demenstrate the Chinese's discontent. They soon came to be known as the Boxers. The Boxer Rebellion began with a series of attack on Chinese Christians. Foreigners in the interior and foreign diplomats in Beijing were also attacked. Armies from Japan and the west crushed the uprising and forced China to grant more privaleges to foreign powers. China also had to pay a large indemnity. After the defeat many Chinese called for Western Reforms.
