Boxer Rising, 1900. The spread of European influence led to strong anti‐foreign feelings in northern China. Encouraged by Dowager Empress Tzu Hsi, young Chinese formed an organization called the Society of Harmonious Fists or ‘Boxers’. They attacked converts to Christianity, missionaries, and workers on foreign‐controlled railways. On 20 June a Boxer uprising occurred in Peking. A six‐nation force landed at Tien‐Tsin on 14 July and marched 80 miles to relieve Peking on 14 August.
