The Boxer Rebellion was an anti-colonialism and anti-Christian rebellion that occurred in China. Internal conspiracy and deep hatred for foreigners led to the emergence of the Boxers. They viewed western foreigners as enemies and Christian converts as traitors. Thus, with the support of the Qing administration, the Boxers engaged in a brutal war against the foreigners and the converts. They murdered foreign missionaries and Christian converts, forcing foreign powers to respond. Foreign powers sent armed troops to China to fight the Boxers and the Imperial Army.
Long-term consequences of the war include a peace treaty that was imposed on China, which included a hefty reparations bill. Western troops decided to occupy Beijing, which was a great affront to the Chinese people. The Rebellion marked the end of the Qing dynasty and the emergence of the Nationalist Kuomintang. Japan’s influence over China emerged and superseded European control and influence after the war.
