China 1899. A populist movement, secretly supported by the Dowager Empress, has risen to expel all foreigners from Chinese soil. The group, called Yihequan (Fists of Harmony and Justice), but called "Boxers" by foreigners because its members practice martial arts, attacked both foreign residents of China and Chinese converts to Christianity.
The uprising culminated in the siege of Peking (Beijing), with the small forces of the foreign legations being surrounded and defeated. A relief column was quickly cobbled together by the eight-nation Alliance of Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, Austria-Hungary, Italy and the United States. After brutal fighting, the Legation Quarter was liberated in August 1900.
