The <entity_1> also known as the "Naval Battle of the Lake" was fought on <entity_3> on <entity_4>'s <entity_2> between fleets under the commands of Republican Admiral José Prudencio Padilla and royalist Captain Ángel Laborde. The engagement was won by the Republican forces, and was the last <entity_6> of the <entity_0> and the larger Spanish American wars of independence. However, some historians point out that if the <entity_1> had been a victory for the Royalist forces, the Spanish Crown might have been able to establish a new front in Western <entity_4> from which to attack the Republican forces stationed in <entity_4>. The <entity_3> is a regional holiday of Zulia State in <entity_4>, and as it is also the date of the birth of Simón Bolívar, is also marked as Navy Day in both <entity_4> and Colombia. On the afternoon of 23 July the Royalists moved to the west coast of the lake between Captain Chico and Bella Vista (north of <entity_5>) and anchored in line of <entity_6>. At sunrise on <entity_3>, the Republican ship commanders were called to the brig Independiente where Admiral Padilla gave his final instructions for the <entity_6>, making some changes and - still not satisfied - at 10:30, went personally on board all the ships in the squadron, in order to harangue and excite his crews so that when the time came to attack the Royalists they would act with the utmost boldness and enthusiasm. The two hours of fierce combat that decided the <entity_6> paved the way for negotiations between the Republicans and the Spanish Captain General of <entity_4> Francisco Tomás Morales.
