Boxer+Rebellion

Boxer Rebellion

The Boxer Rebellion occured in Qing China in 1898. This rebellion's focus was to expel Western influence from China. This rebellion failed because the armies of the more powerful West interviened. The Westerners were so sucessful due to their new technological advancements and the industrial revolution. This victory gave Europeans more control in China. It also gave Europeans the power of provincial officals.
