Answer:
False. The Boxer Rebellion did not strengthen American ties with China when the United States sent arms and financial support to the Chinese government. In fact, the opposite was true. The Boxer Rebellion was an anti-foreign, anti-Christian movement that arose in China in the late 1800s. The United States, along with other Western powers, sent troops to support the Chinese government in suppressing the rebellion. However, the intervention of foreign powers only served to further anger and alienate many Chinese people, and it did not improve relations between China and the United States. In fact, the Boxer Rebellion and the foreign intervention that followed only served to deepen the resentment and mistrust between the two countries.
