The Final Battle of the Revolutionary War Took Place in India

The Revolutionary War's final combat occurred after Yorktown and was another instance of an ally looking for a reason to gain something for themselves. India, on the opposite side of the globe, had just as many reasons as Americans did to wish to be free of Britain.

After their sultan passed away, the British were prepared to put an end to the resistance being put up by the Kingdom of Mysore in India, which had been fighting the British for years. They despatched troops to India, but France, which was supporting Mysore and America, did the same. Two years after Yorktown and what most people today consider the war's end, the two armies engaged in combat in 1783. In actuality, the war was officially over three months earlier with the signing of the Treaty of Paris.

Although the conflict was far from either nation, both lost severely, despite the French attacks on British soldiers turning out to be disastrous. The conflict was eventually put to an end when British forces realized that the war in America was about to come to a conclusion.
