ABSTRACT
Russia at the time of the Boxer Rebellion of 1900 suffered significant losses in areas along the Chinese Eastern Railway in Manchuria. However, they built towns, such as Harbin, along the railway and extended the line southward after obtaining a lease of Port Arthur and Talienwan. They even developed coal mines. Since a significant amount of investment was made, they believed they worried about their protection. Therefore, large armed forces were sent and Russia de facto occupied Manchuria.
