On June 10, 1900, the allied powers decided to appoint British Vice Admiral Seymour as commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, to lead an army of 2,000 soldiers of Britain, France, Russia, Germany, Japan, the United States and Italy, to invade Beijing. In face of the concerted resistance of the Boxers and Qing government forces, Seymour's army was defeated and retreated to Tianjin. The Allied Forces captured Dagu Fort, the eastern gate of Tianjin. Qing troops were engaged in a large-scale battle with the Allied Forces, which lasted for more than 20 days. On July 14, the Allied Forces occupied Tianjin, and calamity befell the people of Tianjin.
