Oddly enough, in its early stages, the Boxer movement was pitted against both Western influences in China and the Manchu-led Qing dynasty. The Qing Empress Dowager Cixi, however, saw the possibility to use these rebels for her own ends and managed to court its leaders in order to forge an anti-Western alliance... it turned out to be a bit of a misjudgment on her side, to put it mildly. The Boxer Rebellion served as a testament to the instability and chaos that pestered China and it definitely was one of the most interesting and tense episodes of Chinese history. • This video is part of Project Revolution: a collaboration with other history-oriented YouTube channels. Once you’ve watched this video and want to know what transpired after the Boxer rebellion, I’d suggest you check out Emperor Tigerstar’s fascinating video about the Xinhai rebellion.
