Reasons for the failure of the Boxer Rebellion 1, limitations of the peasant class.
The boxer failed because the leading class of the boxer was the peasant class, and the basic masses were farmers and small-scale craftsmen, so it was impossible to put forward a practical revolutionary program. The essence of the Boxer Rebellion is actually a spontaneous peasant uprising. In fact, the boxer movement has no unified leader, so the movement has no theoretical guidance. Therefore, it can only be blind. Although the purpose changes with the change of social contradictions, fundamentally speaking, there is no specific goal and method, which is a major reason for the failure of the boxer movement.
2. The Boxers themselves relaxed their vigilance and preparedness against the Qing Dynasty.
At the beginning, the Boxer Rebellion originally wanted to resist this situation of oppression and exploitation. However, with the invasion of western forces, ethnic contradictions began to be the main direction, but I never thought that the Qing Dynasty would encircle the Boxer Rebellion again. In this situation, the Boxer Rebellion can only end in failure.
3. The Boxer Rebellion is very exclusive.
This kind of xenophobia is to resist or destroy all the affairs related to the West, and this kind of complete blind xenophobia is also very unfavorable to the development of the Boxer Movement.
The nature of the Boxer Movement is the anti-imperialist patriotic movement of the peasant class. The Boxer Movement was a peasant movement with the slogan of "helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreign countries" at the end of China 19. This movement shattered the arrogant plan of the imperialist powers to carve up China, dealt a heavy blow to the reactionary rule of the Qing government and accelerated its demise.
