The Japanese truly are a unique nation, but my best guess would be its there code of military, although there fighting styles have changed with the modern times i dare say the Japanese still very much carry the old spirit of there forfathers of samurai and Samurai as basically Morden spartans.. the bravest of the brave Mad respect to Japan from Australia 🇦🇺❤️🇯🇵 So the bow would represent a thank you for helping us live another day but they would not have expected help to arrive and would of died to the last no iffs or buts.

450 million taels of fine silver (around 18,000 tonnes, worth approx. US$333 million or £67 million at the exchange rates of the time) were to be paid as indemnity over a course of 39 years to the eight nations involved. The Chinese paid the indemnity in gold on a rising scale with a 4% interest charge until the debt was amortized on December 31, 1940.

It was, until McKinley announced the "open door" policy for China, an idea of NOT carving China up into colonies. I heard Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany was so pissed off about that he ordered invasion plans drawn up to invade the US mainland. The German general staff was aghast, but followed orders, hoping the Kaiser would cool off by the time they were done. When they presented the plans to him they were horrified when Wilhelm said something about "implementing them". The Germans started the preliminaries when the Kaiser came back from some sort of diplomatic thing in Europe. He had met US president Teddy Roosevelt and became buddies, hence the plans, to the relieve of the German high command, were shelved. Teddy ended up building up the US navy during his presidency, so those plans became unworkable.
Vi esta película por primera vez en tv en febrero 1978 (ojo, que por la tarde habían puesto "murieron con las botas puestas 😃"), y todavía hoy me emociono igual con este final. Sobre todo recordando el comentario de mi padre recordando un hecho igual en la guerra civil española.
Very wholesome when the relief arrived. Reminds me of a passage of the sepoy rebellion in India, when kilted scots relieved a city and proceeded to hug kiss the besieged children with tears of happiness in their eyes.
4:24 -- Italy Bersaglieri were always a crack outfit, in spite of the bad reputation the Italians got in WW2. They were wearing those plumes when they charged the American 1st Division at Gafsa in 1943. The GIs kept shelling them, of course, but they were a brave bunch.

When they presented the plans to him they were horrified when Wilhelm said something about "implementing them". The Germans started the preliminaries when the Kaiser came back from some sort of diplomatic thing in Europe. He had met US president Teddy Roosevelt and became buddies, hence the plans, to the relieve of the German high command, were shelved. Teddy ended up building up the US navy during his presidency, so those plans became unworkable.
@@mykolatkachuk7770 It is very admirable.
And then a few years later back to butchering each other by the millions in a pointless war.
Just hate on the Chinese

one of my favorite hestons
The song it’s the best change my mind

@@YF-23_Enjoyer indian i think
Vi esta película por primera vez en tv en febrero 1978 (ojo, que por la tarde habían puesto "murieron con las botas puestas 😃"), y todavía hoy me emociono igual con este final. Sobre todo recordando el comentario de mi padre recordando un hecho igual en la guerra civil española.
When all those reinforcements came in I fucking got the chills.
chuck and david were so good
My grandfather's regiment, the 9th U.S. Regulars (2nd Division) took part in that, which is why they're called "The Manchus"!
Whats the name of the song that played in the indian calvalry?
0:54 this is Ryan Gosling's grandfather
Bellissimo film lo rivedrei volentieri in tv
Image the relief that most have felt like. :)
Taking the cavalry to the rescue to another level.
Can somebody tell me the music the British calvary Raj were making?
The saddest part about this movie is all of the actors here are dead now. :((
This was made in the 60s the extras were under thirty and the lead actor was in his 30s but probably most of them died
1:40 Okay, the part around the 2nd bridge is funny :) They don't even know which direction they should be running XD
Very wholesome when the relief arrived. Reminds me of a passage of the sepoy rebellion in India, when kilted scots relieved a city and proceeded to hug kiss the besieged children with tears of happiness in their eyes.
4:24 -- Italy Bersaglieri were always a crack outfit, in spite of the bad reputation the Italians got in WW2. They were wearing those plumes when they charged the American 1st Division at Gafsa in 1943. The GIs kept shelling them, of course, but they were a brave bunch.
Noice vid
If that light battalion of the british 24th infantry regiment at Rorke's Drift were there, they would have made short work of these boxer guys.
That's beautiful
I had goosebumps upon seeing the relief forces, especially at 4:49, as I'm French 💙🤍❤.
I enjoyed the movie and the book.
truly a "Well hello 2nd Armoured" before tanks were invented moment
This scene could be duplicated at any Walmart on Black Friday when the store opens.
The tune the Russians are singing, anybody knows what it is?
@Ro Ca Спасибо
@Nicholas ii of russia shelock, when I try to search it I see the faze kid only.
Look for the Nighengale March. The man that did the music score to this movie was Russian.
Nightingale Nightingale, little bird!
I related to captain Georg von Trapp

@Szolnoki diliház "Let China sleep, for when he wakes he will shake the world" -Napoleon Bonaparte. The greatest military leader in history warned Europe of this but nobody listened soooo
Good
It'd be fine if the Boxers were attacking military targets. But civilians and embassies? Dishonorable and cowardly.
Smedley Butler was awarded a Medal of Honor for his actions in Peking against the Boxers.
Hmmmm.... only way they can reach us with swords is over those bridges.... let's leave them intact
To a modern eye the Italian March looks like prancing.
Lol, in almost every fighting scene, there's an extra who can't work the bolt on his rifle
What is the name of the first melody as the allies arrive?
It’s just known as help arrives if you look up 55 days at peking pekinghelp you should find it
Bro theres this one scene that made me think of bravery is this one officer with a revolver almost teached a whole crowd of boxers a lesson then he died after hitting them with his gun he dosent care if he has no ammo and no time to reload this guy died it was the most emotional moment 😢
What was the music when the boxers arrived 0:01
A time of real actors and believable movies.
Ha.HAMILTON ONTARIO CANADA
All you need is *THE LOG*
Use the arrow rain at them
"Listen to them. They're all playing different tunes again."
The Boxers were a bunch of "cut ups" weren"t they??😮😅😊
2:39 that was some good music that i heard what is the music name?
2:39 anybody knows the song that the Bengali lancers used here?
4:26 anybody song of italians?
Garibaldi's War Hymn
David Niven and Charlton Heston, they'll save the fort...
Sure hope all those new troops brought food enough to feed horses and everyone who endured the siege
