Beschrijving

When the Boxer Rebellion flared up in China the USA was in an interesting transitional period. Having recently successfully concluded a war with Spain her newly won foreign possessions made her an imperial power, and at the time large numbers of American troops were attempting to subdue their Philippine possession. Initially the US government tried to avoid getting involved in China but quickly realised that military force was necessary and shipped many troops from the Philippines. This set contains regular infantry, of which there were none present during the siege of the Legations in Peking nor in Seymour’s relief force. However many took part in Gaselee’s relief force and in subsequent operations against the Boxers.
