Korea's involvement[edit]

What is the Korean Empire's involvement in the Boxer Rebellion? I've read in the list of wars involving North Korea that the Jinwidae, the garrison guards engaged the Boxers raids along the Korean border. Koreanidentity10000 (talk) 21:26, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find any sources saying Korea fought in the Boxer Rebellion. I found a source that said "The Korean Empire did not get involved in the Boxer Rebellion. At that time, Korea was under pressure from the expanding influence of the Russian Empire” so I don’t know what that is talking about it. LuxembourgLover (talk) 00:12, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I believe there was a Korean legation in Beijing at the time of the Boxer Rebellion, but not in the foreign embassy quarter that was besieged. Anti-Western Chinese had nothing against Korea, which recognized Imperial China's traditional authority and wished for Chinese support against Japan (though they did not get much after Japan won the First Sino-Japanese War in 1895).

Do not plagiarize sources[edit]

Please. In the cleanup pass I just did on this, I found a significant passage of material that was simply copy-pasted verbatim from one of the (modern, still-in-copyright) books we are citing. See WP:Plagiarism and WP:Copyrights for why it is important not to do this.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  15:26, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Picture[edit]

Rather boys-own looking and US/west-centric ... Can we change it to show more actual focus on the rebellion aspect? 2A0A:EF40:8B9:D701:25F7:6692:257A:7F6 (talk) 15:40, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, the current pictures shows the largest battle of the war and showed a soldier who is very notable. LuxembourgLover (talk) 16:53, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm open to it, and the description of "boys-own looking" is quite correct. But it's better for someone to bring forward a specific alternative which we can use under the policies and directly compare the current picture to. JArthur1984 (talk) 13:39, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This points to a problem: the article title is "Boxer Rebellion" (though I am among those who think it should be "Boxer Uprising") not "Boxer War." So I support the quest for at least a picture that has something to do with the Boxer Rebellion or Uprising. Maybe a map? ch (talk)

I think the art article should have a leadership for the national leaders of governments and military during the war. This is a list of the major leaders:

United Kingdom: Queen Victoria, Lord Salisbury, William St John Brodrick (Secretary of State for War)

Germany: Kaiser Wilhelm II, Bernhard von Bülow (Chancellor)
