Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Boxer Uprising, which occurred in China around 1899-1901, was indeed encouraged by some Chinese officials and segments of the population who were against foreign presence and influence in China, including against missionaries and Chinese converts to Christianity. It was not about ridding China of Japanese presence, placing Japan under control, demonstrating Japanese nationalism, or showing support for Christianity in China.
