The Boxer Rebellion

The Boxer Rebellion took place in north China in 1900, the largest ever massacre of Protestant Christians. 188 Protestant missionaries plus their children and thousands of Chinese Christian converts were massacred and burnt alive by a fanatical occult sect. The cries of the Boxers- “Sha kuei-tzu” (“kill the devils”) could be heard along with the shrieks of the victims and the groans of the dying.
