The population of Ecuador has been divided…
May 1830 CE
The population of Ecuador has been divided during the last several years among three segments: those favoring the status quo, those supporting union with Peru, and those advocating autonomous independence for the former audiencia.
The last group prevails following Venezuela's withdrawal from the confederation during an 1830 constitutional congress that had been called in Bogotá in a futile effort to combat growing separatist tendencies throughout Gran Colombia.
On May 13, 1830, a group of Quito notables meets to dissolve the union with Gran Colombia.
