Boxer Rebellion  

Definition

  • The Boxer Rebellion was a Chinese nationalistic backlash against Westerners in 1900 that endangered Americans and many Europeans. Brief but intense, it stands as a significant episode of anti-imperialist fervor at a time when the United States was just beginning to involve itself to a greater degree in international affairs and create its own empire.
