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. |
The
Albanians had assisted the Young Turks of the Ottoman Empire because of a
promise that Albania would have autonomy and relief from repressive
Turkish taxation. However, once in power, the Young Turks reneged and,
instead levied new taxes, outlawed guerrilla groups and nationalist societies, and attempted to extend Constantinople's control over the northern Albanian
mountain men. About 8000 Albanians in Kosovo and the northern mountains
rebelled in March (or early April) 1910. The uprising soon spread to
Korçë to the southeast and into western Macedonia. The Albanian leaders
met in Montenegro, adopted a memorandum demanding self-government for
Albania, and sent it to the Turkish government, which rejected it. A large
Turkish army brutally crushed the uprising in June 1910. Albanian
organizations were
outlawed, entire regions were disarmed, and Albanian
schools and publications were closed down.
