British Expedition Against the Yoni 1887

[Yoni also spelled Yonni]

Frustrated by years of the local chief breaking their word over slavery in 1887 the Government decided to make an example of one tribe the Yonni sending a force of West Indies and R.N. sailors with rockets against them. After some skirmishes, one column was ambushed six times in two miles, and the use of the rockets the Yonni surrendered.

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.
