The Republic of Gran Colombia lasted from 1819-1831 and encompassed the present day countries of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela, and parts of northern Peru, western Guyana, and northwest Brazil. Simón Bolívar served as its first president from 1819-1830 from the capital in Bogotá. It dissolved in November of 1831 due to the political differences and tensions among the peoples of the different present day countries, which made up the republic.

In this document, Antonio José de Sucre invites the Spanish army in Quito to depose its arms peacefully. Later that year, on May 24, the Battle of Pichincha marked the liberation of Quito and the defeat of the Spanish army.
