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. |
Increasing friction between France and
Algerine pirates culminated when the
Dey of Algiers slapped the French consul's face (April 30, 1827). The French monarch sought to reverse his domestic
unpopularity and used the slapping incident to justify a blockade of
Algiers for the next three years. During the
subsequent blockade, a French ship bearing negotiators and flying a flag of
truce was fired upon by the Algerians (August 3, 1829). France used the failure of the blockade as a reason for a military expedition against Algiers in 1830.
