Finally, the Chinese were so fed up with this shit that they attacked the European colonists. The European powers (Russia, Prussia, Austria-Hungary, Britain, France, Italy) + USA + Japan made an alliance and invaded China.
They killed, raped and pillaged, left the Chinese Empire in ashes, claimed the land, plundered the temples and palaces and left. Boxer Rebellion end.
