This Day in History

Sep. 7

China was compelled to pay an indemnity of USD 333 million, to amend commercial treaties in favor of foreign nations, and to allow foreign troops to be posted in Beijing. Empress TZ'U HSI had expelled foreigners and encouraged an antiforeign society called I Ho Ch'uan [Chinese, (= (righteous, harmonious fists] or, in English, the Boxers. In June 1900 some 140,000 Boxers occupied Beijing and besieged Westerners and Chinese Christians until lifted by an international force of British, French, Russian, U.S., German, and Japanese troops.
