Austria-Hungary was part of the Eight-Nation Alliance during the Boxer Rebellion in China (1899 - 1901). As a member of the Allied nations, Austria sent two training ships and the cruisers Kaiserin und Koenigin Maria Theresia, Kaiserin Elisabeth, Aspern, and Zenta and a company of marines to the North China coast in April 1900, with their base at Port Arthur.
