Ecuador, Ecuador
Ecuador’s Independence Day is a national public holiday that is celebrated every year on August 10. In Spanish, it is known as ‘Día del Primer Grito de Independencia de Quito,’ ‘Day of Quito’s First Cry of Independence,’ and in other countries of Hispanic America as ‘Primer Grito de Independencia Hispanoamericano,’ or ‘First Cry of Hispanic American Independence,’ as the Ecuadorians were the first ones to do so in Latin America and inspired other countries. On this day in 1809, the citizens of Quito, the current-day capital city of Ecuador, rebelled and declared their independence from Spain. Ecuador is Spanish for ‘the equator,’ which neatly describes its geographical place on the globe
