Anglo-Pathan Border War 1897-1898

[1897] Small-scale border war on the Afghan-British frontier grew into a substantial conflict as Pathan forces attacked many British installations (July), taking the Khyber Pass (August). A British autumn campaign took an army of 44,000 into Pathan-held mountain territory, with inconclusive results.

[1898] British forces recaptured the Khyber Pass (March).

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.
