Immediately after Abd ar-Rahman's death in 1859, a dispute with Spain over the boundaries of the Spanish enclave at Ceuta led to a declaration of war by Madrid and to the Spanish capture of Tétouan in the following year. Peace had to be bought with an indemnity of $20 million, the enlargement of Ceuta's frontiers, and the promise to cede to Spain another enclave--Ifni.

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.
