The Boxer Rebellion was a Chinese movement aimed against foreign interference in the country. In 1899, the Boxers began
attacking foreign missionaries, merchants, railroad developers, and other non-Chinese. The government was originally unsure
about how to handle the rebellion, but it eventually took the side of the Boxers, encouraging the attacks against foreigners
An alliance of eight nations, including Britain, France, Russia, Japan, and the United States, sent forces to China to crush the
rebellion and protect their own national interests. When the fighting had ended, the foreign nations held even stronger control
over China than they had before. Russia strengthened its control of the Liaodong Peninsula and Port Arthur areas that were
also wanted by the Japanese
