The Treaty of 1829 fixes the border…
1828 CE to 1839 CE
The population of Ecuador is divided during these years among three segments: those favoring the status quo, those supporting union with Peru, and those advocating autonomous independence for the former audiencia.
The latter group is to prevail following Venezuela's withdrawal from the confederation during an 1830 constitutional congress that had been called in Bogota in a futile effort to combat growing separatist tendencies throughout Gran Colombia.
A group of Quito notables meets in May of this year to dissolve the union with Gran Colombia, and in August a constituent assembly draws up a constitution for the State of Ecuador, so named for its geographic proximity to the equator, and places General Flores in charge of political and military affairs.
He remains the dominant political figure during Ecuador's first fifteen years of independence.
