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. |
Before African resistance was broken, intensive military action was necessary
in several areas. One campaign took place in the southern region in response to
a request from the Boer settlement near Humbe that was threatened by the
Kwanhama. Sporadic campaigning included several serious reverses for the
Portuguese. The Portuguese were able to bring the Kwanhama under control only
with the assistance of field artillery and the establishment of a series of
fortified garrisons. One source estimates casualties resulting from this
conflict amounted to 4000, equally distributed between Portuguese and the
Kwanhama.
