The China Relief Expedition (1900–1901) was a multinational military campaign undertaken to suppress the Boxer Rebellion, an anti-foreign uprising in China that targeted Western diplomats, missionaries, and Chinese Christians. After Boxer forces besieged foreign legations in Beijing, an alliance of eight nations—including the United States—dispatched troops to relieve the siege and restore order. American forces participated in combat operations, secured key routes, and helped protect civilians during the crisis. The expedition concluded with the Boxer Protocol, which imposed financial indemnities and expanded foreign influence in China, marking a significant moment in early U.S. involvement in Asian affairs.
