    InclusionThe Boxer Rebellion sought to remove all foreign influence from China. Many feared that foreigners were the cause of all the country's problems. The eight-nation alliance (consisting of America, Japan, France, Germany, Britain, and Russia) suppressed the rebellion. However, some were strongly opposed to the United States taking part in ending the rebellion. Despite this, some argue that it was not a good decision. As part of the EightNation Alliance, they participated, as it jeopardized trade and because it posed a threat to the nation's stability. Had the United States not participated, the alliance would have been looked at as a betrayal and unreliability. The rebels wanted to cut all ties with foreigners, which would hurt the trade between China and the US. All trade was cut off and the US suffered if the US had not taken action. The rebellion led to many deaths and injuries, potentially starting another conflict. Without the United States' involvement, China would have faced much more strife as a result of the rebellion. Many argue that the US should not have gotten involved in the rebellion's conclusion, as it could have worsened the situation for both the US and China.
