  1. China Open Door Policy Sarah Aromando Arielle Budney Brad Hosking

  2. China’s Reaction • Boxers – secret Chinese society with high nationalist views • Boxer Rebellion – revolt against foreigners in China • Western missionaries were killed and the foreign embassy in Peking (Beijing) assaulted • 200 deaths

  3. US Involvement • US Secretary of State, John Hay, wrote up the Open Door Policy. • Sent it to Germany, Russia, and England • Open Door Policy allowed all nations access to the Chinese market. • Policy created to help US become more involved in trade with China. • When “Boxers” revolted, America helped stop them and pay for repairs.

  4. US Motives • Trade • Place to sell goods (timber, coal) • Market for cheap cotton goods • Strengthen trading connections

  5. US Justification • Open Door Policy would improve trade for all nations • Trade in China would be made equal between all major trading nations

  6. Final Result • Most countries claimed to have accepted policy, others rejected • Overall did not act with terms of agreement • Hay ignored their reactions, insisted all powers accepted terms • US could not control European countries from violating the policy unless US wanted to go to war • Ineffectiveness of Open Door Policy

  7. US Position • Mafia Don • Beneficial gain for the United States • Weak economy, shut out from global trade • Needed to sell goods • After 1880-1890’s-US far behind in trade with other nations

  8. US Actions • Aimed at helping the US become more involved in trade with China. • Felt that they needed to gain more influence • Boxer Rebellion formed because China didn’t want to be occupied by other countries • Took power away from other countries involved in trade with China
