Travel Info How did the spanish get to Ecuador? Travel Tips On August 10, 1809, after nearly 300 years of Spanish colonization, there took place in Quito, which at the time had a population of about 10,000, the first serious revolt against established rule, when a group of nobles and landholders set up a Junta, refusing to recognize the colonial authorities, claiming Ferdinand VII was the legitimate King of Spain. Historians debate whether this was a true attempt at obtaining independence from Spain. Be that as it may, the members of the Junta found little support, either in other cities of the Real Audiencia de Quito, or even among the lower classes in Quito, and were soon arrested by colonial troops sent from Lima. After the Patriotic armies led by Venezuelan-born General Antonio Jose de Sucre defeated the royalist forces in the Battle of Pichincha (May 24, 1822), the provinces of the former Audiencia de Quito joined Simon Bolivar's Republic of Colombia, but on May 13, 1830, they seceded from Colombia and established a new nation, the Republic of Ecuador.
