Summary
The Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists (Yìhétuán), known in English as Boxers, was a peasant organisation in Shandong Province responding to fiscal crises and natural disasters which they blamed on the presence of foreigners in China. Initially suppressed by the Qing dynasty they were later encouraged as part of a movement to expel foreign powers which had imposed an open-door policy on China. Christians were massacred and foreign legations in Peking were besieged.
A relief force under Vice-Admiral Edward Seymour attempted to reach Peking but was forced to turn back. This was followed by an international force, under Lieutenant-General Alfred Gaselee, called the Eight-Nation Alliance which raised the legation siege and occupied Peking. The Qing government was forced to sign the Boxer Protocol in September 1901 and pay a huge indemnity to the allied powers.
