History[]

The Boxer Rebellion[]

The Boxer Rebellion was a conflict that took place in Peking, China between the years 1899 and 1901. It was motivated by a pro-nationalist group called the Militia United in Righteousness, or Yihetuan, which opposed foreign and Christian influences in their country. In English, the Yihetuan were referred to as "Boxers", hence the name. Anti-foreign sentiment festered for several years, ultimately culminating in a series of uprisings that started in June of 1900 with Boxers taking violent actions against refugees in the Legation Quarter.

The Boxer Rebellion has been referenced in forms of fictionalized media. In season five of the WB Network television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the vampire group known as The Whirlwind took advantage of the violence and chaos, so they could feed indiscriminately. One of their members, Spike, fought up against a warrior named Xin Rong. Xin Rong was actually the latest in a long line of empowered vampire hunters known as Slayers. Spike defeated and killed Xin Rong, making this the first of two Slayers that he would kill in his career. [1]

The Future[]

Sometime in the alternate future era of the 1990s, the giant monster known as Mothra, while in larval form, attacked Beijing. [2]
