The boxer rebellion began as a violent uprising against the not only foreign, but also christian imperialists that were beginning to imperialize in China in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
The boxers were not at first supported by the Guangxu emperor, as he was a reformed man himself, and almost welcomed the Missionaries that the Europeans were bringing to "his" county. And with them being the boxers main target, it was not a welcome thing for his empire.
