During the Boxer Rebellion in China (1899-1901), several missionaries lost their lives, including prominent figures such as French priest Father François de la Brétonnière, who was killed in Tianjin, and American missionary John Nevius. Many other foreign missionaries, primarily from various Christian denominations, were also targeted by the Boxers due to their association with foreign influence and Imperialism. The violence against missionaries was part of a broader anti-foreign and anti-Christian uprising during that tumultuous period in Chinese history.
