Orion 1:72 Boxer Rebellion 72009

The Chinese secret society known as ‘I Ho Ch’uan’ (‘Righteous Harmonious Fists’, mistranslated by Westerners as ‘Boxers’), had existed in China for centuries before 1900, but they only came to the attention of the world in that year when they attempted to expel or exterminate all ‘foreign devils’ from their homeland. With a sympathetic Dowager Empress and many members of the court, notably Prince Tuan, elements of the Imperial army joined with the Boxers, though elsewhere in China the Imperial army was being used to suppress them.
