The Boxer Rebellion, also known as the Boxer Uprising or Yihetuan Movement, was an anti-imperialist, anti-foreign, and anti-Christian uprising that took place in China between 1899 and 1901, toward the end of the Qing dynasty. It was initiated by the Militia United in Righteousness (Yihetuan), known in English as the "Boxers," because many of their members had been practitioners of Chinese martial arts, also referred to in the West as Chinese Boxing. The Boxers were a secret society that believed that foreign imperialists and Christian missionaries were undermining Chinese society. They were particularly opposed to the spread of Western and Japanese influence in China. The Boxers believed that they had magical powers and were invulnerable to bullets and conventional weapons, and they led a campaign of violence against foreign nationals, Chinese Christians, and anyone associated with the foreign powers. The uprising escalated into a conflict where the Boxers laid siege to the foreign legations district in Beijing. In response, an international coalition of eight nations—Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States—formed the Eight-Nation Alliance and intervened militarily. The Alliance sent a relief expedition to lift the siege and then launched a broader campaign against the Boxers and the Qing government, which had tacitly supported the Boxers. The conflict resulted in a military defeat for the Boxer rebels and the Qing Empire. The Boxer Protocol, signed on September 7, 1901, ended the uprising and imposed punitive measures on China, including indemnities, concessions, and the stationing of foreign troops in Beijing. The Rebellion and its suppression weakened the Qing dynasty and contributed to the rise of Chinese nationalism, which eventually led to the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China in 1912.

A) The Japanese became isolated from the world stage and were labeled the Hermit kingdom.
B) The Japanese annexed Korea, a move meant to show the Japanese were more powerful than the Chinese.
C) The Japanese tried to annex Hawaii in order to expand their territorial holdings in the Pacific region.
D) The Japanese tried to help the Chinese stabilize the Qing Dynasty with foreign aid.
E) The Japanese began several decades of industrialization and peaceful relations with its neighbors.
