Boxer, also known as boxer. The Boxer Rebellion, also known as the Boxer Rebellion, was a violent movement that took place in China at the end of 19 with the slogan of "helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreign countries". It was mainly aimed at the western aggressors and their vassals in China and was initiated spontaneously by people with strong and simple patriotism.

This matter has a great influence. Historians in China also call this event "the Boxer Rebellion" or "the Battle of Eight-Nation Alliance". Some western countries also use the name "Boxer". Some people in Japan call it the "Northern Youth Incident".

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. Up to now, there is still a proverb circulating in the rural areas of the plain, "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 of 1894-1895, imperialism exported a large amount of capital to China economically, but politically seized "leased land" and divided "spheres of influence", which set off a wave 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.
