This is because the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Luju Bureau borrowed a knife to kill people and wanted the Boxers to deal with imperialism, and many diplomatic ruptures made people fall to the ground, launching a series of wars to invade China and accompany the world, so it is said that the Empress Dowager Cixi is the culprit.
-
Because the Empress Dowager Cixi was too conservative in his policy of governing the country at that time, and he did not accept the culture of foreign socks, and was always too delicate and stubborn. Too conceited.
-
Because Cixi maintained the military and political power, Youqi took her own calculations and forcibly launched a coup d'état, and replied to return to the mausoleum to show diplomacy, which eventually led to the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

The Empress Dowager Cixi did not collude with the foreign powers to suppress the Boxer Rebellion, on the contrary, the Empress Dowager Cixi also praised the Boxers' slogan of "helping the Qing to destroy the foreigners" and allowed the Boxers to fight side by side with the Qing army and resist the Eight-Nation Alliance in a legal capacity. Of course, after the defeat of the war, the Empress Dowager Cixi began to suppress the development of the Boxer Rebellion under the pressure of the foreign powers, but she did not treat the Boxer Rebellion in the most extreme way as she did with the Taiping Rebellion.
In the last decades of the late Qing Dynasty, only the Empress Dowager Cixi had the means to maintain the "death without stiffness" of the national throne through the struggle with the foreign powers without breaking and making peace, and it was not necessarily stronger than the Empress Dowager Cixi by other Manchu rulers at that time, such as the Manchu Yixin, the weak and incompetent Guangxu Emperor, etc., or the Han rulers, such as Li Hongzhang, who advocated "self-preservation in the southeast", and the reformers who "fully westernized", were not necessarily stronger than the Empress Dowager Cixi.
The Boxer Rebellion was a secret society and a non-governmental organization that practiced boxing and martial arts developed in Shandong in the late Qing Dynasty.
The Boxers initially had the idea of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, but with the intensification of the foreign powers' aggression against China, the contradictions between the Chinese nation and the foreign powers surpassed the class contradictions within China.
With the continuous development of the Boxer Rebellion, the Boxers in various places continued to attack the churches of the Western Church, and some missionaries and parishioners were killed in the conflict, and the incident was called the "Lesson Plan".
The Qing also ordered local governments to suppress it, but the Boxer Rebellion continued to grow and spread to Hebei and Zhili.
At this time, the Empress Dowager Cixi staged a coup d'état, imprisoned the Guangxu Emperor, hunted down the reformers, and once again listened to the government. Western countries criticized and put pressure on Cixi's coup, which made Cixi very angry. To confront the Western powers, Cixi decided to use the Boxers.
The Qing Dynasty declared the Boxer Rebellion a legal organization, which rapidly spread to Beijing, Tianjin and other places and controlled some urban areas. Subsequently, Cixi ordered the Qing army and the Boxers to attack the embassies of the great powers in Beijing. The great powers organized the Eight-Nation Coalition to launch a war of aggression against China.
The Eight-Nation Coalition landed in Tianjin, quickly defeated the Qing army and the Boxers, and invaded Beijing. The Empress Dowager Cixi held Emperor Guangxu hostage and fled westward. During Cixi's westward flight, she issued an edict, putting the responsibility for the invasion of China by the foreign powers on the Boxers, and ordering the Qing troops in various places to exterminate the Boxers.
The Boxers were eventually defeated by the combined efforts of the Qing army and the Eight-Nation Alliance. The Boxer Rebellion had an anti-imperialist nature, but the Boxers also sabotaged railways, electric wires, and facilities, which was a manifestation of blind xenophobia. The Boxer Rebellion used feudal superstition to unite the congregation in believing invulnerability, which also showed the ignorance of the Chinese peasants at that time.
-
Because the Empress Dowager Cixi was too ignorant, she thought that although the nations were powerful, they did not encroach on their rights, but the Righteous Rebellion might overthrow her.
-
Because these Boxer movements had seriously threatened the rule of the imperial power, the Empress Dowager Cixi could only collude with the foreign powers to suppress these people at this time.
-
Because the Empress Dowager Cixi was afraid that the Qing Dynasty would be overthrown by the Boxer Rebellion, her imperial power and glory would not be preserved.
-
Because the Boxer Rebellion threatened Cixi's power and power, it seriously affected the imperial rule of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, Cixi had to look for more powerful force to help her.
-
Because the existence of the Boxers would threaten the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and at that time, the Qing Dynasty was mainly fighting against the foreign powers, and there was no extra energy to manage them, so Cixi wanted to borrow the hands of the foreign powers to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty.
-
The diehards led by the Empress Dowager Cixi recognized the legitimacy of the Boxers because of the contradictions with the foreign powers on the issue of abolishing Guangxu after the Hundred Days Restoration, and adopted a strategy of control and exploitation, in an attempt to vent their grievances with the sword and spear of the Boxers.
Empress Dowager Cixi [November 29, 1835 (October 10, 15th year of Daoguang) November 15, 1908 (October 22, 34th year of Guangxu)], also known as "Queen Mother of the West", "Queen Mother Nala", "Lafayette", after the death of the Qing Dynasty, the name of the Qing Dynasty was "Xiaoqin Cixi Empress Dowager Duanyou Kang Yi Zhaoyu Zhuang Chengshou Gongqin Xian Chongxi with Tianxing Shengxian Empress", a total of 25 words, for the Qing Dynasty Empress Queen's mourning after the most honor. The de facto ruler of the Qing Dynasty from 1861 to 1908.
In terms of heirs, Cixi only has one son, Tongzhi. Normally, Emperor Tongzhi should have had an heir, because when Tongzhi died, his queen Arut was pregnant, but later Alut was martyred for her husband, and Emperor Tongzhi cut off the incense. With the same surname, the Yehenara clan to which Cixi belonged was one of the ancient Manchu clans, and their ancestors can be traced back to Yang Jiping, whose daughter later married Nurhachi and then gave birth to Huang Taiji. >>>More
Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun Guangxu was the son of Cixi's sister.
Cixi gave the word. Cixi loves to watch operas, and when she is happy to watch, she will give some rewards to the artists who sing operas. Once, the famous martial artist Yang Xiaolou sang to Cixi, and the performance was very good, Cixi was very happy, so he pointed to the pastries on the table in front of him and said"I've got all the snacks on this table", Yang Xiaolou was flattered and very happy, so he said to Cixi"There are too many snacks on this table, and the minions can't afford it, so why don't you give the minions a word to Lafayette, right? >>>More
Mainly because the envoys of the eleven countries conflicted Cixi in words, and did not take the Qing ** in their eyes, which made Cixi, who had always felt that the Qing ** was the first in the world and had not had much contact with the international situation, very unhappy, so he would directly declare war on the eleven countries.
