The said moment took place on December 9, 1824 in Pampa de la Quinua, near the Andean city of Ayacucho.
During the confrontation, revolutionary armies led by Antonio Jose de Sucre defeated Spanish Royal Forces. Thus, Sucre's victory put an end to the Spanish colonial rule in South America and marked the consolidation of Peruvian Independence previously declared on July 28, 1821.
