Why did the Manchu government declare war on Eight-Nation Alliance?
Because the Boxer Rebellion was carrying out anti-Qing activities, with the deepening of imperialist aggression, the Boxer Rebellion gradually pointed its finger at imperialism and put forward the slogan of "helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreign countries". The Manchu government suppressed it at first and then used it. Regardless of success or failure, Empress Dowager Cixi will not be punished. In order to suppress the Boxer Rebellion, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China.
