The document summarizes the Boxer Rebellion that took place in China in 1900. The Boxers organized to oppose colonialism, foreign influence, and Christianity. They gathered in Beijing and camped around foreign embassies for 55 days. After 55 days, an eight nation alliance was called in to defeat the Boxers, which they were officially defeated in September 1901. The Boxer Rebellion has been depicted both positively as the Boxers courageously standing up for their rights, and negatively as an obstacle between China and the future.
