The cause of the Boxer Rebellion were pretty much two things: primarily the intrusion of westerners and their Christian missionaries and the weakness of the Qing dynasty. During some time in 1898, a group of Chinese people were fed up and sick of the way westerners were acting in their village. Thus in their outrage they killed the westerners and rallied up a numerous amount of other followers who had anti-foreign sentiment. They were called The Righteous Fists of Harmony or Boxers as westerners called them. The Boxers decided to march to the Forbidden City and do something about the weak government. Along the way, they continued to gather more and more Chinese people with anti-foreign attitude. When they got to Peking (Beijing) the Boxers held it hostage for 55 days. Western powers decided to secure China and sieged Peking. With the mighty force of western technology, it was fairly simple for the western powers to dominate the already weakened China. Your answer is the best of the choices.

You are correct, the presence of westerners triggered China's Boxer Rebellion from 1899-1901. The Boxer Rebellion was a violent uprising against foreign influence, particularly from Western powers, that had established economic and political dominance in China. The rebellion was fueled by growing anti-imperialist sentiments and anger towards foreign forces and missionaries, who were seen as encroaching upon Chinese territory and culture.

To arrive at the correct answer, it's important to have historical knowledge of the events leading up to the Boxer Rebellion. In this case, understanding the impact of westerners' presence was crucial in identifying the main trigger for the rebellion. It's always beneficial to review relevant historical sources or reputable reference materials to confirm your answer.
