The Boxer Rebellion was a Chinese movement against European, US and Japanese imperialism. In the spring and summer of 1900, the attacks of the Boxer movement against foreigners and Chinese Christians brought about a war between China and a coalition consisting of Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Austria-Hungary, Russia and the USA, which ended with a defeat for the Chinese.

Eventually, it became an overriding goal for the boxers and for the forces at the Qing court who supported and nurtured them to get all foreigners removed from China. From the point of view of the foreign powers, the goal was initially to come to the aid of besieged foreigners in Beijing, but eventually there was a punitive expedition and a positional race in the expectation that the Qing dynasty would have to hand over even more power to foreign powers.
