What were the main reasons the boxers disliked the western powers?

The Boxers, a Chinese secret society, primarily disliked Western powers due to their encroachment on China's sovereignty and cultural integrity. They resented foreign exploitation, which included unequal treaties, territorial concessions, and economic domination. Additionally, the spread of Christianity and Western influence was perceived as a threat to traditional Chinese values and social order. This resentment culminated in violent uprisings against both foreigners and Chinese Christians in the late 19th century.
