Boxer Rebellion (jan 1, 1899 – jan 1, 1901)

Description:

In an effort to expel foreign influence from their country, a secret super patriotic group of Chinese (their symbol was a fist) revolted against all foreigners in their midst. In the process of laying siege to foreign legations in Beijing hundreds of missionaries and foreign diplomats were murdered. Several nations including the United States sent military forces to quell the rebellion. American participation was seen as a violation of its noninvolvement policies.
