Immediately after the Boxer Rebellion in China, many Boxers were captured by the Qing government and the Eight-Nation Alliance. On September 7th 1901, the Boxers were executed by having their heads cut off while surrounded by soldiers from the Eight-Nation Alliance. The executions were carried out by the Japanese army, and representatives from the Allied forces watched on. In the center, the Chinese Boxers sat with their hands tied behind their backs. The first two were executed and left as corpses. There was no end to the Chinese and foreigners who came to watch.
In May 1900, the Allied Forces formed an eight-nation alliance consisting of eight countries: the Russian Empire, Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Japan, under the pretext of suppressing the Boxer Rebellion. They executed the Chinese in various cruel ways to prevent them from rebelling. Criminals and rebels were executed in public squares in front of crowds of onlookers, and their corpses were left at the execution site as a warning.
After the Eight-Nation Alliance occupied Beijing, they burned, killed, looted, and plundered. They killed all the Chinese people, leaving none alive, and they killed Chinese people for fun and for competition. They beheaded innocent Chinese people as members of the Boxers, and there were frequent cases of people being shot. The Eight-Nation Alliance chased men, women and children with guns, and shot and stabbed the elderly, the weak, women and children. A group of French soldiers drove the Chinese people into the street and continued shooting for more than ten minutes, and not a single person survived. The British army killed the Boxers and the masses in groups with artillery fire, the Germans killed everyone they encountered, and the allied forces were extremely cruel, causing a great tragedy that shocked China and the world with massacres such as shooting, stabbing, strangling, burning, clubbing, strangling, rape, and murder. However, the disciplined Japanese army alone maintained a moderate and polite attitude.
