The 1900 uprising in China aimed at ending foreign influence in the country is known as what?

• A. Boxer Rebellion
• B. Taiping Rebellion
• C. Opium War
• D. Open Door Policy

Answer: (A)

The main idea is recognizing an anti-foreign nationalist uprising in China at the turn of the century. The event is the Boxer Rebellion, when the Boxers, officially the Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists, attacked foreigners and Chinese Christians to end foreign influence and missionary activity. Their efforts prompted intervention by eight foreign powers and led to the Boxer Protocol, reflecting how foreign powers and unequal treaties pressured China even as reform movements grew in response. This movement is distinct from the Taiping Rebellion, a mid-1800s civil war with a religious-pueblicized rebellion against the Qing; from the Opium War, the 19th-century conflicts over opium trade and imperial privileges; and from the Open Door Policy, which was a late 19th–early 20th-century U.S. stance favoring equal trading rights rather than a domestic uprising.
