The Eight-Nation Alliance, also known as the Eight Power Expedition, was an alliance of Austria-Hungary, France,Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, whose military forces intervened in China during the Boxer Uprising and relieved the siege of diplomatic legations in Peking (Beijing) in the summer of 1900.
Can you identify the nations that former the alliance by their uniforms and flags? Can you identify the "new kid on the block" who is playing an ever-increasing part in the power balance, especially in the East?
