Question

what was the effect on china of the boxer rebellion?
○ it led china to the verge of collapse.
○ it made china a communist country.
○ it gave europe a bigger role in china.
○ it made china a major world power.

Explanation:

• The Boxer Rebellion (1899-1901) was suppressed by an Eight-Nation Alliance. After the rebellion, the Qing Dynasty was forced to sign the Treaty of Xinchou, which imposed heavy reparations and expanded foreign powers' access and influence in China, particularly European nations.
• Option A is incorrect: while the rebellion weakened the Qing, it did not push China to the verge of immediate collapse.
• Option B is incorrect: China became a Communist country in 1949, unrelated to the Boxer Rebellion.
• Option D is incorrect: the rebellion further weakened China's international standing, rather than making it a major power.

Answer:

C. It gave Europe a bigger role in China.
