The Boxer Rebellion was a violent anti-foreign and anti-Christian uprising that took place in China between 1899 and 1901. The rebellion was led by a group called the Boxers, who were members of a secret society that practiced martial arts and believed they were immune to bullets and other forms of harm. The Boxers were opposed to foreign influence in China and the spread of Christianity, which they saw as threats to Chinese culture and customs. The rebellion was ultimately suppressed by foreign powers, including contingents of soldiers from eight nations, and is considered a significant event in Chinese history and the history of imperialism.
