Detailed explanation-1: -While the Taiping Rebellion was mainly a Chinese civil war, European and American powers were involved. American soldiers were hired as mercenaries (military for hire) to fight for the Qing against the Taiping (although some also fought for the Taiping).
Detailed explanation-2: -The Boxer Rebellion was an uprising against foreigners that occurred in China about 1900, begun by peasants but eventually supported by the government. A Chinese secret society known as the Boxers embarked on a violent campaign to drive all foreigners from China. Several countries sent troops to halt the attacks.
Detailed explanation-3: -The rebellion officially ended in September 1901 with the signing of the Boxer Protocol. This allowed foreign troops to be stationed in Beijing and led to the destruction of several fortifications. The agreement also forced China to pay a huge indemnity to the nations involved in the conflict.
Detailed explanation-4: -Weakened severely by internal conflict, an attempted coup, and the failure of the siege of Beijing, the Taipings were defeated by decentralized, provincial armies such as the Xiang Army organized and commanded by Zeng Guofan.
