Boxer Indemnities

The Boxer Indemnities (simplified Chinese: 庚子赔款; traditional Chinese: 庚子賠款; pinyin: Gēngzǐ Péikuǎn) were payments required by the Qing dynasty to foreign powers following its defeat in the Boxer Rebellion and the 9 September 1901 Boxer Protocol which concluded it. In addition to the formal indemnities required through the Boxer Protocol, local and provincial Qing governments also paid indemnities to various private claimants, particularly foreign missionaries and churches.
