How many years did Ecuador and Spain fight?

Ecuador and Spain did not engage in a prolonged direct conflict, as Ecuador was part of the Spanish Empire until its independence. The struggle for independence began in the early 19th century, with the main conflict occurring between 1809 and 1822. Ecuador officially declared independence in 1809, but it was not until the Battle of Pichincha in 1822 that Spanish rule was effectively ended. Thus, the significant period of conflict related to independence lasted about 13 years.
