Causes for Boxer uprising outlined by Sir Claude Macdonald
Sir Claude Macdonald, former Chinese minister, argues multiple causes for the Boxer uprising beyond anti missionary sentiment. He cites territorial grabs by foreign powers, Chinese official frustration, and a famine driven climate in Northern China as factors that inflamed a peaceful, industrious people. He notes China’s lack of a published budget complicates feasibility assessments for any demanded indemnity. He adds that missionaries, while pursuing civilization, have interfered in local legal and domestic matters.
