Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The main causes of the Boxer Rebellion were: The presence of Western religions, mostly Christianity, within China. Boxers believed that only indigenous Chinese and Asian religions should be allowed to exist within China. The economic relationships between China and other nations, especially Western nations.
Detailed explanation-3: -One consequence of the Boxer Rebellion to China was that the Western Powers gave up the idea of colonializing China. It seemed more preferable to work with China through its imperial administration. Another consequence was the initiation of some reforms approved by the dowager empress.
