What is boxer indemnity? Don't copy Baidu Encyclopedia.
..... although I think Baidu Encyclopedia makes it very clear.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, people did not get along well and were invaded by foreign powers. You know, foreigners have done a lot of things in China, and people complain a lot. Since Shandong, the so-called Boxer Rebellion began among the people. Because it started from boxing and association, it is also called the Boxer Rebellion. Later, the banner of "helping the Qing dynasty to destroy the ocean" was played. Participants burned a large number of churches, expelled and beat foreigners and Christians.

The Qing court was badly bullied by foreigners and was very unhappy, so it supported the Boxer Rebellion and even declared war on western powers. The war started, China was defeated, Beijing was occupied, and Cixi and his son fled Beijing. The so-called "Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China".

Later, China signed an unequal treaty with the great powers, the so-called "Xin Chou Treaty". The treaty stipulated that the Qing court should pay a large amount of war reparations to the great powers, which was called "boxer indemnity".

The United States set up a study abroad fund in the United States with part of the compensation to help some Qing teenagers study in the United States, so as to expand their interests in China in the future.

To sum up, the Boxer Rebellion triggered Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China. After the war, it signed the "Xin Chou Treaty", demanding that boxer indemnity and the United States subsidize young children studying in the United States with reparations.
