"The World’s Navies in the Boxer Rebellion (China 1900)" by Lieut. C.C. Dix is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work provides an in-depth exploration of the involvement of various naval forces during the Boxer Rebellion, a significant conflict fueled by anti-foreign sentiment in China at the turn of the century. It likely combines personal observations from the author, who appears to have served in the conflict, with broader discussions of military strategies and events. At the start of the narrative, Dix lays out the context leading to the Boxer Rebellion, touching on the societal tensions and the rise of the Boxer movement among the Chinese populace. He describes the chaotic environment in Beijing and surrounding areas as foreign ministers prepare to protect their people from the growing unrest, culminating in a concerted military response by international forces. The opening portions delve into the actions taken by naval powers in response to the escalating violence, including the mobilization of troops and the psychological atmosphere among the foreign residents as tensions mount, setting the stage for ensuing battles.
