	Maoist China
		Looting was rampant and widespread during the China Relief Expedition of 1900, especially, it is reported, among the American Marines, who at the time were among the least disciplined members of the international expedition.
		Exact figures on casualties are not known, but tens of thousand of Boxers were killed in the expedition, so if what this general says is true then that would put the civilian casualties in the millions, which would not be surprising for that type of warfare at that time, especially when disease is factored in.
		China entered a state of civil war in the 1920s in order to unite the fragmented nation.

	Days of Thunder
		An eight-nation alliance formed the China Relief Expedition to rescue the foreign legations in the capital and put an end to the uprising.
		Fearing the decree would precipitate the indiscriminate slaughter of foreigners all over China, the two men literally took their own lives in their hands and secretly altered the text of the decree before it was dispatched from Beijing.
		None could decide whether this was to be a relief expedition, a punitive measure against the Chinese, or, as many of them suspected, an opportune situation through which to increase their own holdings in China.
