The Boxer Rebellion was an anti-foreigner uprising in Qing China, which took place from November of 1899 through September of 1901. The Boxers, known in Chinese as the "Society of Right and Harmonious Fists," were ordinary villagers who reacted violently against the increasing influence of foreign Christian missionaries and diplomats in the Middle Kingdom. They formed a spiritualist/martial arts movement, and believed themselves impervious to bullets.
