""How England Saved China"" is a historical book written by John Macgowan in 1913. The book chronicles the story of how Britain played a crucial role in saving China from the brink of destruction during the Boxer Rebellion of 1900. The author provides an in-depth analysis of the events leading up to the rebellion, including the social, economic, and political factors that contributed to the unrest in China. Macgowan also discusses the role of the Boxers, a secret society that sought to rid China of foreign influence and restore traditional Chinese values. He describes how the Boxers, with the support of the Chinese government, launched a violent campaign against foreigners, including missionaries, diplomats, and business people. The book highlights the efforts of the British military, who played a crucial role in rescuing foreigners trapped in Peking (now Beijing) during the siege of the Legation Quarter. Macgowan provides a detailed account of the battles fought by the British and their allies against the Boxers, as well as the negotiations that eventually led to the end of the rebellion. Overall, ""How England Saved China"" is a fascinating historical account that sheds light on a little-known chapter in China's history. It provides an insightful analysis of the Boxer Rebellion and the role of foreign powers in China at the turn of the 20th century.
