What's the boxer rebellion???
A "Boxer" was a member of a secret society in China (The Righteous Harmonious Fists) that in 1900 tried to drive foreigners from the country and force Chinese Christians to renounce their religion. They were put down by an alliance of imperial powers including the United States and Great Britain.

Reply:The Boxer Uprising (Traditional Chinese: 義和團起義; Simplified Chinese: 义和团起义; Hanyu Pinyin: Yìhétuán Qǐyì; The Righteous and Harmonious Fists) or Boxer Rebellion (義和團之亂 or 義和團匪亂) was a violent movement against non-Chinese commercial, political, religious and technological influence in China during the final years of the 19th century, from November 1899 to September 7, 1901[1]. By August 1900 over 230 foreigners, thousands of Chinese Christians, an unknown number of rebels, their sympathizers and other Chinese were killed in the revolt and its suppression.
