What 1900 rebellion in China was aimed at expelling foreign influence?

The 1900 rebellion in China aimed at expelling foreign influence was the Boxer Rebellion.

The movement emerged in northern China among groups known in English as the Boxers, many of whom practiced martial arts. They opposed foreign political control, Christian missionary activity, and the expansion of foreign economic privileges during the final years of the Qing dynasty. Their slogan was commonly rendered as “Support the Qing government and destroy the foreigners.”

The uprising spread rapidly in 1899 and 1900, amid drought, flooding, social unrest, and resentment after China’s defeat by Japan in 1895. Boxers attacked foreign property, missionaries, and Chinese Christians, eventually reaching Beijing. Qing court factions supported the movement, while others tried to suppress it.

An Eight-Nation Alliance captured Beijing in August 1900. The conflict formally ended with the Boxer Protocol in 1901. It is often confused with the Taiping Rebellion, an earlier and much larger civil and religious war that lasted from 1850 to 1864.
