Pictured here are troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance back in 1900 (Russia excepted). From left to right: Britain, United States, Australia, India, Germany, France, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Japan. The Eight-Nation Alliance was an international military coalition that was devised in response to the Boxer Rebellion in China. The eight nations were Japan, Russia, Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary.
The international legations in Beijing were under siege by Boxer rebels for the Qing government in the Summer of 1900. So, in the name of “humanitarian intervention”, the coalition dispatched their armed forces in defense of their respective nations' citizens.
