Episode notes

From 1899 to 1900, China underwent a widespread and violent uprising. The revolt, a reaction against China’s exploitation by foreign powers, was decades in the making.

In response to the revolt, a group of eight nations joined together to put down the rebellion and ultimately subjected China to yet another humiliating treaty.

The rebellion wasn’t successful, but it laid the groundwork for the seismic changes that would shape the country during the 20th century.
