Armed Conflict
Events Database
Armed Conflict Events Data (ACED)
is an research project providing independent information about
known wars, international disputes, civil wars, rebellions, coups,
revolutions, genocides and other violent conflicts. ACED has been
online since December 2000. Various partial revisions and
modifications have been implemented since then, however, the
limitations of the this format hamper further development. During
2005, the decision was made to radically restructure the available
conflict information into a database. The new Armed Conflict
Events Database (ACEDb) will substantially increase the
utility of available conflict data for students of military
history. As well, it will offer expanded opportunities to add and
edit records of conflict. Existing research material will be
maintained in its present form but no revisions are planned. More
news about the development of ACEDb may be found at News
About the Armed Conflict Events Database. Feedback is welcome. |
In the last decades of the nineteenth century, the Armenians' tendency toward
Europeanization antagonized Turkish officials and encouraged their view that
Armenians were a foreign, subversive element in the sultan's realm. By 1890 the
rapid growth of the Kurdish population in Anatolia, combined with the
immigration of Muslims from the Balkans and the Caucasus, had made the Armenian
population of Anatolia an increasingly endangered minority. In 1895 Ottoman
suspicion of the westernized Armenian population led to the massacre of 300,000
Armenians by special order of the Ottoman government.
