Treaty of Ayacucho

The Treaty of Ayacucho, signed in 1825, marked a significant milestone in Latin American history as it formally ended the war of independence between Spanish colonial forces and the emerging independent states in South America. It recognized the independence of Bolivia and solidified the defeat of Spanish authority in the region. The treaty was named after the Battle of Ayacucho, where the pivotal confrontation took place, leading to Spanish surrender. This agreement symbolized the triumph of liberation movements across Latin America and contributed to the continent's transition from colonial rule to nationhood.
