The Boxer Rebellion was an anti-foreign, anti-colonial uprising that took place in China between 1899 and 1901. The group, known as the "Boxers," primarily consisted of Chinese peasants who were upset over foreign Imperialism, exploitation, and the spread of Christianity in China. They believed that their traditional beliefs and way of life were being threatened by foreign influences and sought to expel foreign powers and their Chinese collaborators. This movement ultimately led to violent confrontations and was suppressed by an international coalition of foreign powers.
