Detailed explanation-1: -The Boxer Rebellion, also known as the Boxer Uprising, the Boxer Insurrection, or the Yihetuan Movement, was an anti-foreign, anti-colonial, and anti-Christian uprising in China between 1899 and 1901, towards the end of the Qing dynasty, by the Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists (Yìhéquán).
Detailed explanation-2: -The Boxer Rebellion failed due to small numbers and antiquated systems of fighting. While there was a lot of resentment for the Western influence in China by many Chinese, the Boxers, established in the 1890s, were only able to rally between 50, 000 and 100, 000 followers, which was just a small number of the Chinese.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
