Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Eight-Nation Alliance was an alliance made up of Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States whose military forces invaded China in response to the siege of diplomatic legations from several nations residing in the Legation Quarter in Beijing. The forces consisted of approximately 45,000 International troops. During the course of the campaign the allied forces brought an end to the siege of the Legation Quarter and brought an end to Boxer Rebellion in August 1900. The troops were sent after the Boxers attacked and killed foreign missionaries, other foreign nationals, and Chinese Christians across north China. The Boxers then converged on Beijing and besieged foreign diplomats and civilians who had taken refuge in the Legation Quarter. After their initial efforts to reinforce the besieged Legation Quarter, the Allied militaries eventually defeated the Boxers and the Imperial Chinese Army, and then looted and pillaged the capital.

The tumultuous period known as the Boxer Rebellion, alternatively termed the Boxer Uprising, Boxer Insurgency, or Yihetuan Movement, unfolded in China between 1899 and 1901. It marked a fervent anti-foreign, anti-colonial, and anti-Christian sentiment among the populace, particularly in Northern China. Led by the Militia United in Righteousness, colloquially known as the Boxers due to their proficiency in Chinese martial arts, this uprising bore witness to a confluence of social, political, and environmental grievances. Following the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, apprehensions surged among villagers in North China concerning the encroachment of foreign spheres of influence. Moreover, resentment simmered against Christian missionaries, whose presence was intertwined with privileges granted by the ruling authorities. These missionaries were perceived as exploiting their status to conceal their proselytizing activities. The year 1898 saw Northern China grappling with a succession of natural disasters, including devastating floods and parching droughts along the Yellow River. The Boxers, attributing these calamities to foreign and Christian interference, commenced a campaign of violence across Shandong and the North China Plain from 1899 onwards. Their actions were marked by the destruction of foreign-owned infrastructure, such as railways, and the targeted assault or execution of missionaries and Chinese converts.

A concise history of an uprising that took down a three-hundred-year-old dynasty and united the great powers. The year is 1900, and Western empires are locked in entanglements across the globe. The British are losing a bitter war against the Boers while the German kaiser is busy building a vast new navy. The United States is struggling to put down an insurgency in the South Pacific while the upstart imperialist Japan begins to make clear to neighboring Russia its territorial ambition. In China, a perennial pawn in the Great Game, a mysterious group of superstitious peasants is launching attacks on the Western powers they fear are corrupting their country. These ordinary Chinese—called Boxers by the West because of their martial arts showmanship—rise up seemingly out of nowhere. Foreshadowing the insurgencies of our recent past, they lack a centralized leadership and instead tap into latent nationalism and deep economic frustration to build their army. Many scholars brush off the Boxer Rebellion as an ill-conceived and easily defeated revolt, but in The Boxer Rebellion and the Great Game in China, the military historian David J. Silbey shows just how close the Boxers came to beating back the combined might of the imperial powers. Drawing on the diaries and letters of allied soldiers and diplomats, he paints a vivid portrait of the war. Although their cause ended just as quickly as it began, the Boxers would inspire Chinese nationalists—including a young Mao Zedong—for decades to come.

This book provides a comprehensive history of the emergence and the formation of the concept of sovereignty in China from the year 1840 to the present. It contributes to broadening the history of modern China by looking at the way the notion of sovereignty was gradually articulated by key Chinese intellectuals, diplomats and political figures in the unfolding of the history of international law in China, rehabilitates Chinese agency, and shows how China challenged Western Eurocentric assumptions about the progress of international law. It puts the history of international law in a global perspective, interrogating the widely-held belief of international law as universal order and exploring the ways in which its history is closely anchored to a European experience that fails to take into account how the encounter with other non-European realities has influenced its formation.
