Liberal Rebellion in Nicaragua 1912

With the call "Down with Yankee Imperialists," Nicaraguan liberals rose in rebellion in July 1912. At the request of Diaz, about 2,500 US Marines were soon landed in Nicaragua to protect the conservative government, and in two months the rebellion was quelled. Under US military supervision, elections were held in 1912, with Diaz being elected president of Nicaragua; a legation guard of about 100 US Marines remained in the country for 13 years.

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.
