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. |
On
or about April 17, 1987, soldiers led by Lieutenant Colonel Aldo Rico
seized the Infantry School at Campo de Mayo near Buenos Aires (also called
the Monte Caseras barracks), protesting the treatment of an officer who
had been cashiered for refusing to appear in court on human rights abuse
charges. The rebellion was suppressed by loyal troops by April 19. There
were extensive reports, after the event, that II Corps officers had failed
to move promptly against the rebels.
