China and the open door policy and the boxer rebellion- china wasnt taken over by the powers because of the us and the open door policy, we felt like we needed to have trading rights with china, if they took over china we wouldnt have as many trading rights, so all countries agreed to support open door policy, free trade with china, guarenteed chinas independence, john hay secretary of state that oushed for policy, boxer rebellion- chinese secret society that boxed, concerned of influence of other countries on china, rebelled against western control, didnt succed, gave foreign countries a good reason to take over, probably wouldve happened if us didnt pointed out open door policy
