Hey, all. An idea occurred to me for my ASB ATL recently, and one thing I’ve decided on in general for just about anything in that TL that I come up with from now on is that if an event analogous to an OTL one happens in a different country, then that event from OTL is butterflied away. The short version is that I want to find some way to prevent the Boxer Rebellion from happening in my ASB ATL. I’ve written very little concerning China in the context of the TL so far (except possibly for a successful Taiping Rebellion, but that’s for another time) so just about any POD is fair game since I’m not very well versed in Chinese history and thus don’t have a preexisting idea as to where the POD could be. because of that, I’d like to know 1) what everyone thinks is the best way to butterfly the Boxer Rebellion, and 2) what effects this would have on both China and the rest of the world (since the Boxers were put down by an international force) from the POD itself onwards. With just some quick research, one possibility is a continued attempted colonization of China by the Europeans, and another is potentially butterflying the Russo-Japanese War)
