The Boxer Rebellion was the fourth and largest war, Imperial China fought against Western powers in the nineteenth century. Oddly enough, in its early stages, the Boxer movement was pitted against both Western influences in China and the Manchu-led Qing dynasty. The Qing Empress Dowager Cixi, however, saw the possibility to use these rebels for her own ends and managed to court its leaders in order to forge an anti-Western alliance... it turned out to be a bit of a misjudgment on her side, to put it mildly. The Boxer Rebellion served as a testament to the instability and chaos that pestered China and it definitely was one of the most interesting and tense episodes of Chinese history.
