Origins of the “Boxer Revolt” in China & German Intervention 1900-1901

This presentation will commence with a review of early 19th Century Chinese history and subsequently focus on the rise of the “Boxer Movement”, events leading to the outbreak of hostilities in Northern China in 1900, the Allied Nations’ reaction and suppression of the “Boxer Revolt” ending with a Peace Protocol and its long-term effects on world history in the Twentieth Century. Interwoven in this presentation will be the postal historical aspects involving Germany’s part of the Allied intervention along with on-site showing of a number of frames of postal history from an award-winning 10-frame exhibit.
