The boxers motives were to keep their countries original culture and prevent manipulation from outside forces.]]> 2019-10-22 13:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/pasheehan/k393etktpvnk/wish/400837164 pasheehan https://padlet.com/pasheehan/k393etktpvnk/wish/400839536 The Boxers killed a large amount of seemingly innocent people. The Boxers killed foreign missionaries and "slaughtered tens of thousands of "secondary hairy ones"(Remembering the Boxer uprising: Righteous Fist). According to a letter written by Hua-Cheng Kwei, "the missionaries were stoned and the child torn into pieces". This is extremely terrifying for anyone to have to worry about. The fear the Boxers instilled by killing people was extremely unneeded and caused many mental issues.]]> 2019-10-22 13:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/pasheehan/k393etktpvnk/wish/400839536 pasheehan https://padlet.com/pasheehan/k393etktpvnk/wish/400846859 The relationship between China and the West was usually calm; they were friendly and avoided problems. This was until the boxers came in. When the boxers started to take over, the relationship between China and the west was exponentially weakened. The "savage outbursts of primitive xenophobia directed at the west" was so strong and effecting that ""Boxerism" became synonymous with a rapid, anti-foreign demon that was thought to lurk in China, ready to wreak bloody havoc"(Remembering the Boxer Uprising:Righteous Fist).]]> 2019-10-22 13:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pasheehan/k393etktpvnk/wish/400846859 pasheehan https://padlet.com/pasheehan/k393etktpvnk/wish/400853960 Not only did the boxers kill innocent people and ruin a very crucial relationship between China and the rest of the powerful world but they also ruined properties in their own country. According to an account of the boxer Rebellion, the Boxers "burned churches" as well as destroyed other Christian missionary settlements. Not only did this hurt the Christian missionaries but the destruction harmed the Chinese natives as well.]]> 2019-10-22 13:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/pasheehan/k393etktpvnk/wish/400853960 pasheehan https://padlet.com/pasheehan/k393etktpvnk/wish/401384506 The Boxers wanted to keep their culture and keep their people from becoming influenced by the "bad" western world. The Boxers felt the need to protect their economy because the government had a lot of power over the the Country. The new "free" and "equal" western beliefs were threatening. "the Boxers, would target the missionaries because they saw in missionaries not only Christians, which they had doubts about, but also they saw in missionaries the whole cutting edge for an American lifestyle"(American Missionaries in China).]]> 2019-10-23 12:12:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pasheehan/k393etktpvnk/wish/401384506 pasheehan https://padlet.com/pasheehan/k393etktpvnk/wish/401401570 2019-10-23 12:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/pasheehan/k393etktpvnk/wish/401401570
