Defiant Venezuelan forces repulse Morillo at Margarita battle

Headquarters in Assumption report the July 25 1815 engagement where Major General Manuel Morillo led 3000 Spanish troops against Margarita's garrison. Don Francisco Estevan Isomez and 400 horsemen along with 150 infantry turned back the attack after four hours, with 7 killed and 20 wounded on the Venezuelan side and far heavier Spanish losses. The battle solidified Margarita’s resistance and boosted local morale.

In August 1817 at Assumption and Margarita, Major General Jose Manero reports the Spaniards under Morillo abandoning their campaign. Margarita is declared free after a month and a half of battles, with 27 Morillo ships departing Pampatar toward Cantana. The island’s defenses held, fortifications were destroyed by the retreating Spaniards, and the populace prepares to resist further attempts.
