At the time of the Boxer Rebellion, Japan responded to requests for help from the international community and won world trust through the sacrifices it made. As a consequence, and despite the anti-Japanese "yellow peril" propaganda then raging in Europe, Japan entered an alliance with the most sought-after partner of the time, Great Britain.
在义和团起义期间，日本响应了国际社会提出的援助请求，虽然有牺牲，但赢得了世界的信任。结果是，虽然当时反对日本人的"黄祸"宣传正在欧洲蔓延，但日本还是加入了盟军，和大英帝国战斗在一起。那次结盟使日本在随后的日俄战争（1904-1905）中打败了俄国人。
