Boxer’s qualities directly relate to the Soviets working class due to his intelligence level. It is established that Boxer is not the most academic oriented animal in the farm as stated in the text, “Boxer could not get beyond the letter D” (Orwell, 33). The working class during this era were not given educational opportunities which prevented them from achieving a higher intelligence and better jobs in society. However, this is an is an enormous flaw in both parties because it allows someone like Stalin or Napoleon to take control over them and allow them not to think for themselves which happens in both Animal Farm and

After the war, internal conflicts emerged. In 1899, the Boxer Rebellion started with the opposition to foreign spheres of influence. They were angry about the missionaries, and legalization of opium. The Boxers massacred Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox missionaries everywhere and their leader called for a brutal anti Christian policy. But soon, the Great Powers came in the way and defeated them. This event only made the spheres more powerful. Then in 1901, the Boxer Protocol was announced and its intent was to execute

As a result of the Boxer Rebellion, the United States reiterated the Open Door Policy in an attempt to preserve Chinese entity and trading rights. China also had to continue paying indemnities because of the previous treaties. Feelings of contention lingered.

In the debate, one side claims that the Boxer Rebellion was fueled by a large drought, which the boxers claimed was being invoked by the Christians. The other side of the debate says that the rebellion was mainly fueled by the fear and hatred of foreigners, especially christians. The people who claim the drought have a valid point, because in the places where the rebellion was the bloodiest, were also the areas where the drought was the worst. However, the people who say that it was mainly foreign hate, reminding the opposition that people in 1900’s were sophisticated enough to not truthfully blame natural phenomenons on witchcraft.

Boxer is a very important animal at the animal farm who takes the weight of the problems and puts them on himself and always claims he will work harder. Boxer, the workhorse on the farm, has always worked hard and pushes himself to be better, and to do more. This made all the animals look up to him, more than their actual leader at times. He takes responsibilities that are not even his and excels. Animal Farm by George Orwell shows the many ways the Boxer is an important virtue to the farm and to his friends.

What was the Bear Flag Revolt, you may ask? The Bear Flag Revolt was where a group of several american settlers rebelled against the Mexican government and claimed California as an independent republic. The settlers mostly consisted of americans who traveled from what would be the settlements of America to the independent republic of California.

The Bear Flag Revolt is important to history because without it, California would never have been part of the union.

The first cause for the Boxer Rebellion, was the anti-foreign stance in China. As a result of suffering humiliating defeats in both the first, and second Opium wars, China was forced to grant concessions to foreigners. Furthermore, they had to sign the “unequal treaties” which allowed the West to gain a significant amount of control over China. This left the Chinese population poverty-stricken, and angry at foreign powers. The economy became disrupted by the arrival of modernity and industrialism. According to historian David Silbey “Many Chinese worked in industries that were disrupted by the arrival of the railroad and the telegraph. There was a sense that China’s balance had been thrown out of whack by these modern innovations, and only by destroying the innovations and the foreigners who brought them could the balance be restored.”. The Chinese regarded the West as “foreign devils”, and wished to retain sovereignty and independence. They were extremely nationalistic. Mark Twain addressed the boxer rebellion in 1900.

Revolts started to break out in Mexico as the government moved towards centralism in the mid-1830s. The Texas revolt was a successful one as Texas was very near to US and could get arms, manpower and moral support from US. The Mexican economy was not strong enough to provide manufactured goods to frontiersmen at reasonable prices. The frontiersmen felt that they were politically neglected. This compelled them to look for their self-interest rather than to be loyal to Mexico. The Californians thought to create an independent California or the one under British, French or American. During the US Mexican war the New Mexicans thought to break away from Mexico and form an independent republic.
