Historians do not typically say that there were six
foreign powers that fought against the rebels in the Boxer Rebellion. Instead, they
typically say there were eight. For example, the history-fact-finder link below
says
The Boxer
Rebellion was an uprising that took place in China in 1900. It was crushed by the
combined forces of eight foreign
countries...
It may be that
your textbook feels that the contributions of two of the foreign powers were not
significant enough to be worth mentioning. You may want to check to be
sure.
The eight nations that are generally credited with
helping to put down the Boxer Rebellion
are:
- Japan
- Russia
- Great
Britain - France
- United
States - Germany
- Italy
- Austria-Hungary
I
would argue that the last two of the countries mentioned above did the least to help put
down the rebellion. Therefore, if I were to limit my response to six countries, I would
use the top six on the list above.
