About this ebook

What were the causes and consequences of the Boxer Rebellion in China? This book explores the Boxer Rebellion of 1899-1901, an uprising in China against foreign imperialism, Christian missionaries, and the Qing Dynasty. The narrative discusses the social, political, and economic conditions in late Qing China, including widespread discontent with foreign influence and the weakening imperial government. It examines the role of the Boxers, a secret society that sought to expel foreigners and restore traditional Chinese values, and the response from Western powers and Japan. The book also delves into the international intervention that suppressed the rebellion and its consequences for China, including the signing of the Boxer Protocol and the increasing influence of foreign powers in Chinese affairs. By analyzing the legacy of the rebellion, the book highlights its role in the decline of the Qing Dynasty and the rise of nationalist movements in China.
