- The revolutions took place at this time because the events leading up to this time, such as the Opium Wars and the Sino-Japanese Wars lead to a cry for action.  ]]> 2018-03-23 13:53:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sccrowley14/worldhistoryrevolutions/wish/245460345 liberty_leis https://padlet.com/sccrowley14/worldhistoryrevolutions/wish/245461949 The main conflicts of the Boxer Rebellion took place in Northern China. ]]> 2018-03-23 13:55:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sccrowley14/worldhistoryrevolutions/wish/245461949 Timeline liberty_leis https://padlet.com/sccrowley14/worldhistoryrevolutions/wish/245463087 The Chinese saw the foreigners as barbarians and thus sought out to eliminate them because they were afraid they would spread their western influences.
Early 1890's- Rebellion was organized by the Yi-Ho Tuan.
Late 1890's- The regular attacks started happening.
June 20, 1900-They moved to the Beijing area killing many missionaries and burning many churches.
June 21, 1900- Cixi declared a war on all foreign nations with diplomatic ties in China.
August 1900- An international force of approximately 20,000 troops from eight nations arrived to take Beijing and help the foreigners and Chinese Christians.
September 7,1901- Boxer Rebellion ends after signing the Boxer Protocol. This meant that forts protecting Beijing were to be destroyed, rebellions were to be punished, China was prohibited from importing arms for two years, and had to pay more than $330 million in reparations to the foreign nations involved in the fight.

The rebellion was so violent, China had to count on their allies to stop the war. The Qing dynasty was weakened by this at the time and shortly fall in 1912.
