Detailed explanation-1: -Many in China saw foreign influence as a corrupting force that was weakening China’s culture and government. The Boxers used guerrilla tactics to kill many Christian missionaries and Western diplomats, all in an effort to rid China of foreign interference.
Detailed explanation-2: -The principal causes of the Boxer Rebellion were economic issues and the disputes between the Chinese and foreign missionaries in the wake of the Opium Wars (1839–1842 and 1856–1860). After the legalization of the propagation of Christianity in China around 1860, foreign missionaries were very active in Shandong.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Sepoy Rebellion was thus a rebellion against the ruling government of India, while the Boxer Rebellion was an uprising against the presence of foreigners in China, an uprising which actually gained the support of the ruling Chinese government.
