  • Summary

  • In this episode of Time Machine Diaries, we journey to the twilight of the Qing Dynasty in China, a time of upheaval, foreign influence, and simmering resentment. We delve into the heart of the Boxer Rebellion, a violent anti-foreign and anti-Christian uprising that shook the foundations of China and captured the world's attention. We'll explore the complex factors that led to the rebellion, from economic hardship and natural disasters to the growing presence of Western powers and missionaries. We'll examine the key events of the conflict, including the siege of the foreign legations in Beijing and the intervention of the Eight-Nation Alliance. Join us as we unravel the tangled threads of this pivotal moment in Chinese history."
