Summary

This lecture explores the government's attitude towards the Boxers, which varied depending on the personal views of governors, with some supporting them as a local militia. It also discusses the escalating anti-foreign sentiment leading up to the Empress Dowager's declaration of war on all foreign powers in 1900. Furthermore, it delves into the repercussions of these events, including the Boxer Convention, financial indemnity, and the emergence of anti-imperialist sentiments.
