Why did the Boxer Rebellion fail?
The limitations of the boxer movement are:

1, there is a general error of xenophobia.

2. Once cheated by feudal rulers.

There are many superstitions and backward tendencies.

Reason for failure:

The leading class of the Boxer Rebellion is the peasant class, and the basic masses are peasants and small-scale craftsmen, so they can't come up with a practical revolutionary program. At first, they were repeatedly suppressed by the Qing government for the purpose of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and regaining sight".

Facing the serious national crisis, the Boxer Rebellion pointed its finger at imperialism and put forward the slogan of "helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreign countries". Due to the limitations of the peasant class, there was no advanced class leadership, and the Qing government headed by Empress Dowager Cixi.

In order to avoid the attack of the Boxer Rebellion, they were forced to resort to deceptive means of false declaration of war and real surrender, surrender to imperialism, suppress the Boxer Rebellion at home, and put the Boxer Rebellion between inside and outside. It was defeated by enemies at home and abroad.

Objective reason: the joint strangulation of Chinese and foreign reactionary forces (that is, the main reason).

Subjective reasons: "Fuqing" in Fuqing made the Boxer Rebellion lose its due vigilance and blindly exclude foreigners.

Cause of outbreak:

There are many reasons for the rise of the Boxer Rebellion, the most important of which is the increasingly fierce contradiction between imperialism and the Chinese nation.

Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, China has been carved up by imperialist powers. The imperialist countries stepped up their political and economic aggression against China, which deepened the national crisis in China and made the China people suffer greatly, which became the fundamental reason for the rise of the Boxer Rebellion.

The fuse: 1899 10 10 At the beginning of October, in Jiangjiazhuang, guanxian, Shandong Province (now Wei County, Xingtai City), the parishioners clashed with the local people, and the Boxers attacked the local church.

Magistrate Jiang Kai sent troops to suppress. Zhu led hundreds of people to fight and defeat the Qing army. Nowadays, there is still a proverb circulating in the rural areas of the plain that "the Boxer Rebellion started in the plain and spread all over the country in less than March".

Origin: At the end of 19, various imperialists invaded China's border areas and neighboring countries crazily, and a new crisis appeared in China's border areas. After the Sino-Japanese War, imperialism exported a large amount of capital to China economically.

Politically, seizing the "leased land" and dividing the "sphere of influence" set off an upsurge of dividing up China. Culturally, they invaded the cities and villages of China through the church, which aggravated the national crisis and eventually broke out the anti-imperialist patriotic movement of the Boxer Movement.

There are many views on the origin of the Boxer Rebellion:

1, Bai Lianjiao said, the representative of this view is Lao Naixuan's "The Origin and Development of Boxer Boxing". People believe that the Boxer Rebellion originated from the White Lotus Sect.

2. The Broadsword Club said that the Broadsword Club was a poor peasant-dominated group in North China in the Qing Dynasty. Members practice the "golden bell jar" and think they are invulnerable. It is also considered as one of the origins of the Boxer Movement.

3. The township group said that some people think that the Boxer Rebellion originated from private township organizations.

The Boxing Club said that in the Qing Dynasty, there were many non-governmental organizations that spread martial arts, such as the Boxer Rebellion and Meihua Boxing. In particular, the Boxer Rebellion has a strong folk religious color in its long-term development. It is considered to be the predecessor of the Boxer Movement.

5. The axe gang said that the most puzzling but powerful thing, unlike other origins, was that boxers made the axe gang, not that it originated from it.

Generally speaking: Anbaili School → Boxer → Axe Gang, many branches in the middle period are a chaotic structure, including the Broadsword Club, green gang, Hong Men, Paoge, etc. Generally speaking, it is the crystallization of China civil righteous people.
