Q. Ecuador gained independence from which country in 1822?
Answer: Spain
Notes: Ecuador gained independence from Spain in 1822. Spain occupied the territory of Ecuador in 1532 and Spaniards subjected the native Ecuadorians into the encomienda labour system. So, after 300 years of Spanish rule, the Ecuadorian War of Independence happened between 1820 to 1822 which lead to the independence of Ecuador from Spain.
