The Boxers were originally called "The Righteous and Harmonious Fists" but they received their name "Boxers" because the people who were in this group were martial artisits which to the foreigners seemed like boxers (information can be found in the textbook). Since foreigners were taking over specific parts of China, the Chinese were struggling. It would not be hard to imagine that the Chinese would be angry and would want revenge over the foreingers.
This is just the basic background of the Boxers though. Did anyone find any good sites about the Boxers?
I also found a really good site that explains the opium war very easily if anyone needs help with it; http://historyliterature.homestead.com/files/extended.html
Laura- For your first question, like we talked about today, we are going to pretend that the boxer rebellion occured almost a week after. So the articles are going to be put in "recent past" tense.
for my affects of imperalism today im suppose to make it sound like a preditction right?> and is it accurate that many languages and traditon were lost
Laura, for opium I have this site: http://www.gulfcoastrecovery.org/11_06.htm, it says that to get treatment from opium, first you need to truly stop using it. Maybe you can write then contradict it by saying that because of the British (give bad descriptions of them too) the peasants/workers does not seem to be getting better at all.
