Title: Boxer Rebellion, Battle of Tientsin, 1900
Caption: Entitled: "The Japanese cavalry advancing through fields toward a walled city in China." Shows a Japanese soldier on horseback engaging four Boxer troops as the cavalry crashed through a field outside a walled city in China. The Battle of Tientsin occurred on July 13-14, 1900 during the Boxer Rebellion in Northern China. A multinational military force, representing the Eight-Nation Alliance, rescued a besieged population of foreign nationals in the city of Tientsin (Tianjin) by defeating the Chinese Imperial army and Boxers. The capture of Tientsin gave the Eight-Nation Alliance a base to launch a rescue mission for the foreign nationals besieged in the Legation Quarter of Peking. The Boxer Rebellion was lead by a Chinese secret organization called the Society of the Righteous and Harmonious Fists against the spread of Western and Japanese influence there. After several months of growing violence against the foreign and Christian presence in Shandong and the North China plain, in June 1900 Boxer fighters, convinced they were invulnerable to foreign weapons, converged on Peking (Beijing), China's capital, until an international force that included American troops subdued the uprising. Chromolithograph, artist Ishimatsu Nakajima, July 1900.
