Alexander CekalaThe Boxer Rebellion: Part 2
Today's article follows on from yesterdays post on the Boxer Rebellion and deals with the response of the foreign powers to the besieging of their compounds.
Foreign response
The foreign powers began a buildup of naval forces along the Chinese coast and began to send more troops to the capital. A force of around 50, 000 men finally marched from Tianjin to Beijing and dealt with all opposition. The uprising was effectively over.
The implications
However, the event still had implications for some time, with the Boxer Protocol being signed between the nations. This demanded reparations and the executions of some of the leaders of the rebellion.
Eventually, this event encouraged republican feelings and weakened the ruling Qing dynasty. While the Boxers had little success at the time, they paved the way to future success.
And that's the Boxer Rebellion.
