Battle of Urica
The Battle of Urica was fought on 5 December 1814 in eastern Venezuela between royalist forces under José Tomás Boves and the last patriot army, led by José Félix Ribas. The royalists won, but Boves was killed by a lance during the fighting. The defeat ended the Second Republic of Venezuela, and Ribas was captured and executed soon afterwards.
