US was part of the 8 nation army that sacked Beijing during the Boxer rebellion.
Quite a bit after the opium wars, but unequal treaties were one of the boxers' primary grievances, so it's in there as a root cause.
- cscurmudgeon 3y ago> Quite a bit after the opium wars Ah, now we are moving the goal posts. Got it.
- woooooo 3y agoI'm not OP, just lending some historical detail. They don't teach it in school here that the Marines sacked Beijing, but they definitely teach it over there.
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoCurious, do they teach US aid to China and partnership during WW2?
- woooooo 3y agoI dont know, it's probably mentioned but with nowhere near the emphasis you would like :)
