Step-by-step explanation:
The US President, Millard Fillmore sent Commodore Mathew Perry to Japan just before Japan Meiji era, which ran from 1868 to 1912. Mathew Perry was saddled with the responsibility of creating a political relation with Japan. Before this period, Japan was an isolated country, which did not have much relation with any other country.
Japan later signed treaty with USA and some other western countries. Some warrior group in Japan opposed the new relation with the western world, this led to the downfall of Shogun (Japan Emperor) and the beginning of Meiji era. The first emperor of Meiji era is Emperor Mutsuhito.
Emperor Guang Xu is an emperor of China, who proposed 100 days of reform in china. This move was opposed by some conservatives led by Empress Ci Xi. The reform was squashed, Emperor Guang was sent into exile and Empress Ci took over the throne.
During this time, a secret cult led by Boxer took it upon themselves to attack and kill all foreigners in China in order to show their dislike for foreign take over of China.
