Synopsis

A concise, clear history of the Boxer uprising and its global impact, written to help readers understand how events in China shaped the modern world.

This nonfiction work traces the Boxer movement, the foreign reactions, and the rapid sequence of events that shook early 20th‑century China. It draws on missionary reports and contemporary accounts to present a balanced view of the outbreak, the siege in Beijing, and the questions surrounding China’s future.

- Learn the origins of the I-Ho-Ch’uan movement and how it grew from local gymnastic groups into a wide‑scale challenge to foreign presence.
- Understand the international response, the siege of the legations, and the complex role of emperors, empress dowager, and officials.
- See how the Boxer uprising affected missionaries, converts, civilians, and foreign powers, with attention to the real human costs.
- Explore the questions historians ask about sovereignty, modernization, and China’s path ahead during this pivotal period.

Ideal for readers of historical overviews of China, early 20th‑century geopolitics, and anyone seeking a measured account of a turning point in world history.
