Secret society members attacked foreigners and Chinese Christians in Beijing?

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Boxer Rebellion saw members of a secret society known as the "Boxers" targeting foreigners and Chinese Christians in Beijing and other parts of China. They viewed these groups as symbols of foreign Imperialism and cultural encroachment. The violence peaked in 1900, leading to a siege of foreign legations in Beijing, prompting an international military response to protect foreign nationals and restore order. Ultimately, the rebellion highlighted the tensions between traditional Chinese culture and foreign influence during a period of significant upheaval.
