Question 5 • PBCSD_Grade_Forgiveness_2109310_World History_S2_2015

How did the Boxer Rebellion lead to the decline of dynastic rule in China?

Answer
A
The uprising led to increased nationalism and conflict, which weakened the government.
B
The peasant uprising led to a civil war, which allowed westernized countries to gain control.
C
The Boxers began to sell opium to the people in China, which led to conflict in the government.
D
China began to use imperialism to overpower European nations.

Explanation

The Boxer Rebellion intensified anti-foreign nationalism and brought China into conflict with foreign powers. The Qing government’s inability to control the uprising or protect China from the consequences further weakened its authority, contributing to the decline of dynastic rule. The rebellion did not lead to a civil war that let Western countries take control, as choice B suggests.
