Arakanese Uprising 1811-1815

Arakan In 1811, the leader of the Rohingya insurgents, Chin Bya, organized his forces and managed to capture much of Arakan from the Burmese. A request by Chin Bya for British protection, however, was rejected and the Burmese army pushed Chin Bya back into Bengal. The incursions led to tension between the British colonial government in East Bengal and King Bodawpaya over the Burman king's demands for extradition of the insurgents. In one incident, the king's men pursued the Rohingya insurgents into British territory.

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.
