Similar to what happened in the Second Opium War, the Boxer Rebellion created a situation where a mass uprising forced all the great powers with concessions in China to collaborate. Each one was to limit resources to tackle the rebellion effectively. One great irony was by 1900. There was already great tension between the Western powers. Germany, or more specifically Prussia, and France had fought a bitter war in 1870-1871; Germany was seen as the rising rival to Great Britain, the Russo-Japanese War was only 4 years away at this point, although Great Britain began to draw more closely with the United States. <ref>For a discussion on Anglo-US relations in the late 19th century see: Ellis, Sylvia. 2009. <i>Historical Dictionary of Anglo-American Relations.
