The Boxer Rebellion

Boxing in the 1960’s was one of the biggest sources of entertainment to most American’s. Back in the 60’s one could compare a heavyweight championship fight to our modern day super bowl. If American’s didn’t have a television, they would be standing by their radios listening. Unfortunately during the same time period race relations were at an all-time low. Boxing was integrated, although black boxers were still under pressure to conform to white America’s social limitations. One man stayed true to himself, so that others would find courage to do the same.

In 1368, Ming Dynasty was established. Emperor Hongwu praised highly on Confucius and vigorously popularizing Confucianism. Moreover, the Ming government, “Implemented the civil serve examination system that put Confucian scholar-officials in the central leadership. This officials were well versed and socialized in the human and antimilitarist precepts of the Confucian classics.” Ming China’s major security intimidation came from the northern border, the Mongols. Under the influence of Confucianism, Ming advocated

The Civil War between the North and the South in America was not even a half year old when well-known Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote his article “Bread and the Newspaper” in prestigious Boston The Atlantic Monthly magazine, which he helped to found. He wrote in the magazine that war to preserve the union will bring the various citizens of the country together and needs to be fought on three fronts, one is the law, one is in the mind of the people and one requires the spilling of blood, all in the tradition of the Revolutionary War.

The mid-19th century is a historic period in the history of the United States, one that shaped the nation we now know. In the year 1861, the tension that had long been brewing between the north and south exploded and led the nation to war. The catalyst was Abraham Lincoln’s victory in the presidential election. As an anti-slavery Republican, the southern states feared his agenda and chose to secede from the Union. The Confederate States of America was formed and the refusal of said states to rejoin the Union led to a Civil War, neighbor against neighbor, each fighting for what they believed to be right. The four years of the war were costly, both in

Hello and thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to review this short story.

There were many different events that contributed to the start of the Civil War. The Civil war was one based on people and slave rights. It was a compilation of confrontations regarding the institution of slavery. It was a long-standing war where many such as President Lincoln strongly intervened. There were three events, however, that I believe were the most important events leading to the Civil War. These events included The Missouri Compromise of 1820, The Compromise of 1850, and Uncle Tom’s Cabin in 1852. The Missouri Compromise created a moral issue using a simple geographical line, while the Compromise of 1850 led to increased polarization amongst centrist citizens due to the new Fugitive Slave Act. Uncle Tom’s Cabin created conflicting views of slavery between the Northerners who felt it was unethical and the Southerners who believed Uncle Tom’s Cabin was slanderous.

rebellion and there pretty much was a war. One of the most interesting events that the Sikh extremists did was the attack on the Romanian ambassador. The Sikhs are extremely violent in all their means and a lot of it is also retaliation. But the founder of the religion was a gentle soul. This shows just how easy it is for religion to turn violent. The younger activists had taken over pretty much and now the older Sikh leaders were just there. That is how the religion got so messed up. That 's why they were all about violence and none of the original Sikh views. They did not even achieve any political views. The Sikh terrorist are mainly in India. So even if the government is not the best doesn 't mean people can do whatever that want.

In the later nineteenth century, China was being invaded by the western civilizations. These western civilizations had already beaten the Chinese imperial army. In response to the defeat of the Imperial army, a new group arose. This group was known as the Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists, also known as the Boxers. The people in this society started carrying out attacks on the westerners and Chinese Christians in order to attempt to take back China. The members of the Boxer society mainly consisted of peasants, many of whom were from the Shandong province, which had been stricken with natural disasters, such as famine and flooding. The Boxers believed the westerners were to blame for the poor standard of life in China. At the time of the Boxer Uprising in China, there was distress in China. This distress was mainly caused from internal and external forces. The internal forces grew after China was thrust by western imperialism and exploitation. The imperialism and

China has been in a state of revolution and reform since the Sino-Japanese war of 1895. As a result of Japan’s victory over Russia in 1905, China’s constitutional reform movement gathered momentum. This forced the Manchu government by public opinion to make gestures of preparation for a constitutional government, an act to which reformers in exile responded enthusiastically by establishing a Political Participation Society (Cheng-wen-she) (1, pg.84).

Along with Prince Gong’s active role in ‘seeking to improve China’s diplomatic relations and advance the military’11, the dominant leaders of modernization sought to ‘take the foreigners as their teachers and models; then they may come to the same level and be their equals; finally they may move ahead and surpass them’. Their ideas were supported by a number of provincial governors and scholar-officials who began to ‘seek out an effective path for reform’12. These efforts would become known as the Self-Strengthening Movement. The leading theorist of the movement was the scholar-official Feng Guifen who believed in order to ‘strengthen the Qing state, traditional Confucian culture and institutions must be preserved’ and ‘supplemented by Western weapons and technological learning’. Although the reforms proposed modernization, a cultural change was needed for it to truly be in effect. With the establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Zongli Yamen), Zeng advised to send students to Western countries for technical training and in result a mission was sent to the United States of America the following year. However after a few years the students were instructed to return to China claiming that they spent to much time on Western learning and not enough on their Chinese studies. Although, the officials most likely feared that the students were ‘learning democratic or republican ideas’13
