Which early Chinese rebellion was suppressed by the Eight-Nation Alliance?

• A. Boxer Rebellion
• B. Taiping Rebellion
• C. Opium War
• D. Chinese Civil War

Answer: (A)

This question centers on the Chinese uprising that drew in an international military response from eight foreign powers. The rebellion known as the Boxer Rebellion began as an anti-foreign, anti-Christian movement and culminated in attacks on foreign legations in Beijing. In 1900–1901, the Eight-Nation Alliance—made up of eight major powers—sent forces to crush the uprising and relieve the besieged diplomats. The suppression showed how foreign powers could intervene directly in China during this period and led to the harsh terms of the Boxer Protocol in 1901. The other events are either internal civil conflicts or earlier wars that did not involve this multinational intervention, so they don’t fit the scenario described.
