Boxer Rebellion Comic Strip

By: Layton Winegarner

Them darn Boxers and that secret society of theirs, always practicing their martial arts. What is this going to lead to?
I am getting tired of all these Europeans walking around talking about their Christianity! They think we want their Western influence.
Way to go Sec of State John Hay!
In order to ensure our rights to trade with China, I have created these "Open Door Notes" to send to the European nations to make our stance known.
We have reached our breaking point. The Boxers are sure to rebel now.
The Boxers are sure to start killing the Europeans and any Chinese people that have converted to Chritianity.
Let's get the general public to join the Boxers. It's time we create a total war.
I bet the US and European nations intervene in this rebellion to put it down.
This war has ended. The Rebellion has been put down. Thousands of Chinese died fighting.
Other powers will continue to trade and influence China.
