What happened during the boxers rebellion

Multiple countries (United States, Great Britain, Germany, Austria-Hungary, France, Japan, Russia, and Italy) decided to trade with and convert the Chinese to Christianity. A certain group of marshal artists fought back because they saw foreigners as barbaric. the "boxers" planned on removing foreign influence in China. Eventually those countries won and trade was opened and there were restraints put on what the Chinese people could do.

the most famous of all the units fighting in cuba, the "rough riders" was the name given to the first u.s. volunteer cavalry under the leadership of theodore roosevelt. roosevelt resigned his position as assistant secretary of the navy in may 1898 to join the volunteer cavalry. the original plan for this unit called for filling it with men from the indian territory, new mexico, arizona, and oklahoma. however, once roosevelt joined the group, it quickly became the place for a mix of troops ranging from ivy league athletes to glee-club singers to texas rangers and indians.
