VERIFIED

Answer 2

The correct answer is that by having part of the Rebellion money returned to China, U.S. positioned itself as a dominant leader internationally.

The peace treaty established the Chinese government's commitment to execute 10 officers involved in the revolt, pay 333 million dollars to the victors in reparations of war over 40 years, grant even more commercial advantages to foreigners and allow the parking of troops by them between Beijing and the Yellow Sea, in order to ensure the safety of foreign embassies in the capital.

The United States later decided to reduce the punishment imposed on China, investing a large part of the war indemnities in the granting of scholarships to Chinese citizens and in the construction of universities, such as Tsinghua. The payments would be reduced or canceled definitively throughout the decade of the 1930s.
