The Boxer Rebellion was an uprising in 1898-1901 by the "Righteous Harmony Society" of China.
The main cause of the Boxer Rebellion was the domination of Chinese cities by foreign countries. Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan, and Russia had settled along the coast and had set up colonies and forced the Qing Dynasty to obey their rules.
In January, the Empress changed her policy of suppressing, Boxers which led to the spread of the Boxer Movement. They killed Christians, burned Christian churches, and intimidated those who got in their way. The Eight Nation Alliance then sent soldiers to defend Beijing. The Boxers then attacked the city and continued the assault for months, killing lots of soldiers. The Eight Nation Alliance then sends 20,000 thousand soldiers to suppress the rebellion. In August, they reached Beijing and rescued the people trapped in Beijing and put down the rebellion. On September 7, 1901, the Chinese government signed the Peace Protocol of Peking, ending the Boxer Rebellion.
