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
restoration of order after the 1804 rebellion failed did not end unrest
among the convicts in New South Wales. Most of the convicts were Irishmen
who were political prisoners deported from Ireland after the suppression
of the revolution of 1798. A second convict rebellion in 1806 was also
successfully suppressed. However, afterward, Captain William Bligh, Royal
Navy, of mutiny on the Bounty fame, was appointed governor, the home
government expecting that his stern discipline would bring both the New South
Wales Corps and the convicts into line. His drastic methods soon resulted in
further unrest.
