The Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China was an extremely dark period in Chinese history at the end of the 19th century.
Britain and Germany played a key role in this war. British Admiral Edward, Hobart, Seymour, as the commander of the Eight-Nation Alliance, led the Joint Task Force from the Tianjin Concession to attack Beijing, opening the prelude to the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance.
After that, German Field Marshal Alfred von Waldersee was appointed commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and Germany became the leader of the Eight-Nation Alliance.
In this period of history, we can see the important position of Britain and Germany in the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China.
However, this does not mean that we should ignore the responsibilities of other countries at war. In fact, the Eight-Nation Coalition was made up of eight imperialist powers, including Great Britain, Germany, France, the United States, Japan, Russia, Italy, and Austria-Hungary. These countries have jointly participated in the invasion and plundering of China, which has brought profound disasters to the Chinese people.
During this difficult historical period, the Chinese people showed a stubborn spirit of resistance.
The Boxer Rebellion was a national liberation struggle against imperialist aggression, and although it ultimately failed, it demonstrated the national self-esteem and national self-confidence of the Chinese people.
At the same time, the performance of the Qing ** in the war also caused a lot of controversy. Some people believe that the Qing ** adopted a compromise attitude in the war, which led to the expansion of the war and the suffering of the Chinese people. However, there are also those who believe that the Qing Dynasty has done its best to safeguard national interests and national dignity in the face of powerful imperialist countries.
In this war, the Chinese people paid a huge price, but also accumulated valuable experience.
It is against this historical background that the Communist Party of China came into being and led the Chinese people to a new historical stage. Today, China has become one of the largest economies in the world, and its international status is constantly improving.
We should remember history, cherish peace, strive to develop the country, and strive to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
