Comprehensively examining this historical conundrum of the 20th century from a detached perspective, the book is based on ten years of exhaustive research of both unpublished and published materials from all nine countries involved. Analysing the misunderstanding between the Chinese and foreign governments of the day, Lanxin Xiang debunks the traditional view that the anti-foreign Empress Dowager of the Chinese Empire was chiefly responsible for this catastrophic episode which altered the course of 20th centuryChinaHistoryBoxer Rebellion, 1899-1901Electronic books.951/.035Xiang Lanxin1956-885738FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910463468203321The origins of the Boxer War1977788UNINA
