In which conflict did SgtMaj Dan Daly earn his first Medal of Honor?

SgtMaj Dan Daly earned his first Medal of Honor during the Boxer Rebellion, which took place in China between 1899 and 1901. This conflict arose in response to the rising anti-foreign and anti-Christian sentiment among the Han Chinese, leading to violent uprisings and attacks against foreign nationals.

During the Boxer Rebellion, Daly displayed extraordinary bravery and leadership. He was recognized for his actions at the Siege of Peking, where he played a vital role in defending the Legation Quarter against Boxer forces. His gallantry under fire and commitment to his fellow Marines contributed significantly to the effort, ultimately earning him the prestigious Medal of Honor for his valor in combat.

The other conflicts mentioned, while significant in their own rights, did not involve the actions that led to Daly's first Medal of Honor. World War I occurred later, and while Daly served in that conflict and earned a second Medal of Honor, it was not the situation where he first distinguished himself. The Haiti Occupation and Vera Cruz incidents also occurred after the Boxer Rebellion, thus they are not relevant to the specific case of Daly's first medal.
