Due to many foreigners the Chinese had developed a better sense of Nationalism, so the answer is B.
Answer:
The correct answer is B. A rising sense of nationalism in China was a reaction to the strong foreign influence in China.
Explanation:
Conflicts between western and japanese foreigners and Chinese people arose in China after the first Christian communities were established by western settlers, when they refused to pay local taxes that were used primarily for religious purposes. In addition, there were two wars within a short period in which China was attacked by western states: the First Opium War (1839 to 1842) against Great Britain and the Second Opium War (1856 to 1860) against Great Britain and France. These wars further fueled Chinese reservations about Western nations.
After these wars, Western imperialism established the Unequal Treaties, through which all major European states, as well as the USA and, since 1895, Japan forced China to grant legal and economic privileges to them.
This allowed free trade to begin in China, which caused unemployment and poverty in several communities. This was the background that served as the main trigger for the Boxer Rebellion.
