In the summer of 1900 some Christian communities in North China set up their own armed forces; armed conflicts occurred between these forces and the Yihetuan Movement. In a sense the Christian armed activities were a part of the culture of mass violence in this area that had a long history. Taking advantage of prerogatives granted them under the unequal treaties, foreign missionaries and the Christian communities under their leadership tried to maximize their control of a variety resources. When these communities were faced with danger the missionaries as the elite of rural areas organized the followers into armed groups and the communities tided over the storm of the Yihetuan Movement. The armed defense of the Christian communities at the peak of Boxer Uprising was a result of the combination of internal environment and external factors.
