Protective Division of Quito
The Protective Division of Quito was the army raised by the Free Province of Guayaquil after its declaration of independence in October 1820 to free the Ecuadorian highlands from Spanish rule. After early successes it was defeated at Huachi in November 1820, and the liberation of Quito was later completed with help from Gran Colombia under Antonio José de Sucre.
