Explanation:

The Boxer Rebellion started after continue growth of Foreign Influence through what is now known as the "Spheres of Influence", which had America, Great Britain, Germany, France, Russia, Japan, etc. taking over parts of the Eastern Coast of China. This led to the Boxer Rebellion, which was the Chinese nationalist's protest in trying to regain their land. This failed utterly, and the Europeans, Japan, & the USA continued to have their sphere of influence.
