Boxer rebels attempted to drive out foreigners from China, they detested foreigners and claimed they did not obey the customs of China. Majorly missionary Christians and new Chinese Christian converts were attacked.

The rebellion formed in 1899 and got heated around 1900. They attacked suspected Chinese Christians due to the fact that they felt they did not obey the Chinese religion and rites. They attacked Christian worship places like the Roman Catholic Church in Beijing and killed foreigners such as the German minister and other foreign ministers.
