I. Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China
1900, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China. 1900 on may 28th, that is, in the 26th year of Guangxu reign of Qing dynasty, eight powers invaded China at the same time and started a war.
The total number of troops in these eight countries can reach 50 thousand. The equipment is very sophisticated and the momentum is huge. History is called the Gengzi Incident, Eight-Nation Alliance captured the Forbidden City, and Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi fled westward.
190 1 year, the "Xin Chou Treaty" was signed. Eventually, China became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.
For the people and the country at that time, it was a painful blow, and its destructiveness could reach the level of disaster.
Second, the boxer movement.
On May 27th, the Boxer Rebellion broke out. The boxer movement originated in Zhili and Shandong, and it was a spontaneous anti-imperialist and anti-feudal mass movement in the late Qing Dynasty.
The slogan of the Boxer Rebellion was to help the Qing Dynasty destroy foreign countries. Because the Qing government was suppressed by foreigners at that time, these people organized to expel the invaders. The government at that time was so corrupt that they could only force the people to fight bravely.
Although the Boxer Rebellion was defeated in the end, it fought bravely against Eight-Nation Alliance, and the Boxer Rebellion's behavior hit the ambitions of foreigners.
