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 Arikara (Rees) Indians went on the warpath when white fur hunters began encroaching on their lands along the upper Missouri River in the Dakotas. A bloody Arikara attack (1823) on trapper led to the first US Army punitive expedition against an American Plains Indian tribe. Troops under Colonel Henry H. Leavenworth (1783-1834) inflicted damages on Arikara villages, opening up areas for the whites; moving northward, the Arikara eventually settled on fort Berthold reservation, North Dakota, in the 1860s.
