Mutual Defense Pact of the Southeastern Provinces, The first China-Secession movement, 1900.
Southeast Mutual Protection is an agreement reached in 1900 during the Boxer Rebellion between the Qing Dynasty's southeastern provincial governors and foreign powers. Fearing the spread of anti-foreign uprisings, these governors, including Liu Kunyi and Zhang Zhidong, negotiated with foreign consuls in Shanghai to ensure mutual protection of foreign nationals and Chinese citizens in the Yangtze River region.
