"The Battle of Ayacucho (, ) was a decisive military encounter during the Peruvian War of Independence. It was the battle that secured the independence of Peru and ensured independence for the rest of South America. In Peru it is considered the end of the Spanish American wars of independence, although the campaign of Sucre continued through 1825 in Upper Per\u00FA and the siege of the fortresses Chilo\u00E9 and Callao finally ended in 1826. As of late 1824, Royalists still had control of most of the south of Peru as well as of Real Felipe Fort in the port of Callao. On December 9, 1824, the Battle of Ayacucho (Battle of La Quinua) took place at Pampa de La Quinua, a few kilometers away from Ayacucho, near the town of Quinua between Royalist and Independentist forces. Independentist forces were led by Antonio Jos\u00E9 de Sucre, Sim\u00F3n Bol\u00EDvar's lieutenant. Viceroy Jos\u00E9 de la Serna was wounded, and after the battle second commander-in-chief Jos\u00E9 de Canterac signed the final capitulation of the Royalist army. The modern Peruvian Army celebrates the anniversary of this battle."@en . "3500"^^ . "The Battle of Ayacucho (, ) was a decisive military encounter during the Peruvian War of Independence.
