b. both were aimed at eliminating foreign influence on china's government.
c. both hoped to remove china's qing dynasty from power.
d. both began as religious movements that eventually turned violent.

The correct answer is A, as both rebellions weakened China's government, making it difficult to resist foreign demands.

In the case of the Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864), there was no direct involvement of foreign countries (just a number of French and British men took part in the conflict), but there was a discrediting of the Qing Dynasty for allowing an uprising to take place on such a large scale. In a certain way, the support of the foreign powers diminished because of the low confidence they had towards the Qing as a result of the rebellion.

The Boxer Rebellion (1900-1901), on the other hand, directly involved the participation of foreign powers (Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, the USA, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire), since the uprising had as its motto the elimination of foreign influences in the territory Chinese, with the consequent attacks on embassies and foreign citizens.

These 8 nations formed an alliance to finish the rebellion. The Allied Rescue Army consisted of some 54,000 men under the command of British General Alfred Gaselee, of whom about 5,000 were Chinese, opposed to the Boxers, 20840 Japanese, 13150 Russians, 12020 British, 3,520 French, 3420 Americans, 900 Germans, 80 Italians and 75 Austro-Hungarians. In July of 1901, they landed near Tianjin and laid siege to the city, which fell on the 14th. They also captured the forts of Taku, located on the estuary of the Hai He River, and four Chinese destroyers, work in which Baron Roger Keyes stood out.

After securing the area, the Gaselee army left for Beijing (120 km away) on August 4, 1901. The march was surprisingly easy, despite the fact that some 70,000 imperial soldiers and an approximate number of armed rebels were stationed on the route, preferring to avoid direct confrontations. There was only one combat of some importance in Yangcun, about 30 km from Tianjin.

The hostilities finally ended on September 7, 1901, when the Qing Dynasty agreed to sign the Xinchou Treaty or "Boxer Protocol," a new unequal treaty with the governments of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, France, the United States, Spain, United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands and Russia.

The peace treaty established the commitment of the Chinese government to execute 10 officers involved in the revolt, pay 333 million dollars to the victors in reparations of war over 40 years, grant even more commercial advantages to foreigners and allow the parking of troops by them between Beijing and the Yellow Sea, in order to ensure the safety of foreign embassies in the capital.

folds are formed when heat and pressure is applied to the rock. the higher the temperature, the more pliable rocks become. folds are more likely to occur when the deformation caused by the compression is applied slowly. faults are defined as the displacement of rock that were once connected along a fault line.
