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.


Who were the boxers in the boxer rebellion?

The Boxers were a secret society of young men trained in Chinese martial arts, and believed to have spiritual powers. They were very anti-foreign and anti-missionary. They provided the spark for a widespread revolt in northern China. Groups of Boxers attacked foreign engineers, tearing up railway lines, and then marched on Beijing in 1900. They attacked the foreign legations in the city, home to thousands of Western diplomats and merchants. Yet, these legations managed to withstand the siege for 55 days, until more aid came to their side. Nearly 20,000 troops from Britain, France, the U.S., Germany, Italy, Japan, and Russia tried to repress the Boxer movement. Why were these Boxers important? The Boxer Rebellion was key as an anti-imperialist movement because it revealed the weakness of the Europeans' imperial power. It, in a sense, dramatized how much the Europeans would have to devote to maintaining power overseas.
