Historian A says widespread famine in China caused the Boxer Rebellion. Historian B responds with supporting evidence that the Boxer Rebellion was a reaction to European colonial power in China. How would you describe the action of Historian B?

Historian B prevented supporting evidence of his argument as to the cause of the Boxer Rebellion. He is trying to say that his reasons for the causes of the Rebellion had more weight and proof of this is in the boxers’ actions in attacking foreigners and Christian Chinese. They gave more priorities to that rather than the drought that brought the famine.
