1901 Boxer Protocol settlement to Norway

Upvote:6

Most likely the indemnity was meant to compensate the various nations for the loss of lives of their citizens and property, pro-rated roughly to the amount of each country lost.

I can't find exact records of deaths, but there were Norwegian citizens in China during the rebellion. The China Inland Mission was proselytizing in rural China at the time, and many of their missionaries were hunted down and killed. At least one member was Norwegian, although she escaped. There were likely more who weren't so fortunate. There were also quite a few Swedes in China doing the same kind of work. The same source says 41 of them were killed, along with 15 children.

The besieged foriegn quarter of Peking also contained Norwegians.
