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of the 20th century from a detached perspective, the book is based on ten years of exhaustive research of both unpublished and published materials from all nine countries involved.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 century 607 $aChina$xHistory$yBoxer Rebellion, 1899-1901 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a951/.035 700 $aXiang$b Lanxin$f1956-$0885738 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463468203321 996 $aThe origins of the Boxer War$91977788 997 $aUNINA
