On July 26th, 2012, the Kingdom of Texas declared war on the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and established the client state the Duchy of Venezuela. With the Hurian invasion force gone, the Texan government continued its own invasion of Venezuela and pledged a larger amount of troops to the region. However, its troops already in Venezuela were minimal at the time of the declaration, giving the Venezuelan Army a chance to destroy the Texan defense before the war actually started. Using the information that the main invasion and occupation force of the Kingdom of Texas would arrive two days later, the Republic of Venezuela sent 27,520 ground troops, its entire Navy and nearly 80 armoured vehicles to destroy the garrison of only 3,750 Texan Army troops and 30,000 Texan sailors.

| - The Battle of Lake Maracaibo also known as the "Naval Battle of the Lake" was fought on 24 July 1823 on Venezuela's Lake Maracaibo between Admiral José Prudencio Padilla and royalist Captain Ángel Laborde. The battle was won by the republican forces, and was the last battle of the Venezuelan War of Independence and the larger Spanish American wars of independence. The ships belonged to the forces of Gran Colombia led by Simón Bolívar. The Battle of Carabobo of 1821 is usually seen in the historiography as the culminating battle for Venezuelan independence. Many historians point out that if the Battle of Lake Maracaibo had been a victory for the royalist forces, the Spanish Crown might have set a new front in Western Venezuela from which to attack the republican forces stationed in Venezuela. As a result of the loss, the Spanish Crown did not send any new regiments to Venezuela, and finally accepted Venezuelan independence as a result of this second decisive patriot victory, although it did not formally recognize the new nation for more than a decade afterward. 24 July is a regional holiday of Zulia State.
