I finished the book "The President and the Assassin" recently which details the lives of William McKinnley and Leon Czolgosz. In the part about the Boxer Rebellion it states that the European powers involved wanted to break up China. I assume this means that they wanted to dissolve the Chinese govt. and break up China into colonies. If this is so could this have lead to a World War between the powers over the control of Chineses land?
