5 0

Answer:

Machiavelli as a term is based on the teachings and writings of the Italian politician, Niccolò Machiavelli who is commonly hailed as one of the greatest philosophers and political scientists to ever live.

Machiavelli however, has overtime become a synonym for evil because of his teachings and writings which centered on acquiring and maintaining power involved many heinous acts such as murder, deception, and other immoral act. His view was that the end justified the means.

Critics have pointed to the fact that tyrants such as Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini used Machiavelli's ideas in their quests to acquire and maintain power to prove that indeed, Machiavelli or at least his teachings were evil and encouraged it.

How did the Boxer Rebellion ultimately benefit the United States?
Tresset [83]

The Boxer Rebellion was an anti-foreign and anti-christian movement in China. This was the result of western missionaries arriving in China in the 1860's to convert the locals to christianism, in a country of a predominant taosim and confucionism population. This strong anti-foreign movement was created by a group called "The Boxers" and they seeked rebellion against western powers.

The Boxer Rebellion positively affected USA-Asian relations because of the U.S. suppression of the rebellion which resulted in the end of dynasties and the initiation of the Open Door policy in China, which stopped any country from imperializing China. This event helped to take a country that had been long resentful of foreigners and open it up, overall strengthening the relationship between them and the U.S.
