The Ecuadorian War of Independence was fought from 1820 to 1822 between
several South American armies and Spain
over control of the lands of the Royal
Audience of Quito, a Spanish colonial administrative jurisdiction from
which would eventually emerge the modern Republic of
Ecuador. The war ended with the defeat of the Spanish forces at the Battle of
Pichincha on May 24, 1822, which brought about the independence of the entire Presidencia de Quito. The Ecuadorian War of
Independence is part of the Spanish American wars of
independence fought during the first two decades of the 19th century
