The members of the secret society that attacked foreigners and Chinese Christians in Beijing were primarily part of the Boxers, also known as the Yihetuan or "Righteous and Harmonious Fists." This anti-foreign and anti-Christian movement arose in the late 19th century, fueled by widespread resentment against foreign Imperialism and missionary activities. The Boxer Rebellion, which peaked in 1900, saw these groups engaging in violent uprisings against foreign nationals and Chinese converts to Christianity. The conflict ultimately led to an eight-nation alliance intervening to suppress the uprising and protect their interests.
