- Title
QUITO EN 1810: LA BÚSQUEDA DE UN NUEVO PROYECTO POLÍTICO.
- Authors
MORELLI, FEDERICA
- Abstract
Although historiography has always considered the 10th of August 1809 —date of the creation of the first Junta of Quito— as the symbolic date of Ecuadorian independence, this essay underlines the experience of the second Junta —created in September 1810 and defeated two years later— as a key transitional moment between the colonial and the republican eras. Whereas the 1809 Junta attempted to restore its supremacy on the territory of the Audiencia, the Junta of 1810 was created to fulfil another objective: restructuring a territory which was under a fragmentation process, due to the 1808 crises, to the peninsular events and to those that took place in the neighbouring regions.
