The Battle of Pichincha
General Sucre marched on Quito with a mixed army of Argentine, Peruvian, Colombian and Venezuelan patriots. Encountering Royalist forces he attempted to outflank them by advancing across the slopes of a volcano. Sucre's flanking force was itself outflanked, but was saved by the Albion Battalion. Attacking the other Royalist flank, Sucre completed his victory and captured Quito. This led to the independence of Ecuador.
