Question

the taiping rebellion and boxer rebellion had which of the following in common? a. each led to the establishment of new dynasties that briefly controlled all of china. b. each targeted any person practicing non - chinese traditions with persecution and violence. c. each promoted tolerance for chinese christians who worked closely with europeans. d. each made it difficult for the qing dynasty to resist european economic interference.

Explanation:

• Option A is wrong: neither rebellion established a new dynasty controlling all China; the Taiping Rebellion only controlled parts of southern China, and the Boxer Rebellion was suppressed without seizing full power.
• Option B is wrong: the Taiping Rebellion was led by a Christian-influenced leader and did not target non-Chinese traditions broadly, while the Boxer Rebellion targeted foreigners and Chinese Christians.
• Option C is wrong: the Boxer Rebellion violently opposed Chinese Christians and foreign influence, so it did not promote tolerance for them.
• Option D is correct: both rebellions drained the Qing dynasty's military and financial resources, weakening its ability to push back against European economic exploitation and demands.

Answer:

D. Each made it difficult for the Qing dynasty to resist European economic interference.
