The correct answer is - It lead to a revolt against the Chinese imperial government.
In the period when the Boxer Rebellion took place, China was ruled by the Manchu people, or rather the Manchu Empire. The Manchu emperors though were very corrupt. That led to the loss of China's best and most profitable ports, as well as making the Chinese people very poor and to struggle for survival, while the Europeans were bribing their emperors and were using their territory and resources.
The Boxer Rebellion was with the purpose of taking down the current emperor, as the people wanted their land back, better lives, and leaders that were going to protect the country instead of selling it cheaply.
An effect the Boxer Rebellion had on China was it prompted the United States to announce the Open Door Policy.
Further Explanations:
Boxer Rebellion was a pre-planned rebellion instituted by an “Anti-foreigner Chinese Society” known for their fighting skills in physical application and resistance. The rebellion was the result of numerous factors such as the Western Powers. The Opium War fought amid 1839-1842 that forced China to endow commercial enterprises at first to Great Britain and then to other nations opening China for foreign trade. The War also resulted in widespread opium obsession in China.
