The Boxer Rebellion was before WW1 and yeah, it failed. The Boxers tried kicking out the foreigners and the Europeans banded together to squash the rebellion. It was a very complicated affair though, because the Chinese were not united. Some Chinese hoped for a peaceful resolution.

Either way, the ruling dynasty was weakened by the rebellion and the Europeans still held a lot of colonies at the end of it.
