Boxer Rebellion significantly weakened China when the Qing rulers were forced to accept foreign military assistance to put down the uprising. In total, eight nations sent troops and equipment to defeat the Boxers, including the nations of Japan, Russia, England, France, Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary. After their victory, the coalition of eight nations forced the Qing rulers to agree to compensate the nations for any damages caused by the Boxers as well as the cost of their military support. Despite the Boxers fighting against Western influence and foreign control in China, the end result of the rebellion led to an increased Western presence and foreign control in their country.
