where did the last battle of the revolutionary war take place
American Revolutionary War Sultan advanced along the west coast, laying siege to Mangalore on 20 May 1783.[488] Meanwhile, on the east coast, an army under James Stuart besieged the French-held port of Cuddalore on 9 June 1783.[489] On 20 June, key British naval support for the siege was neutralized when Suffren defeated Hughes' fleet off Cuddalore,[490] and though narrow, the victory gave Suffren the opportunity to displace British holdings in India.[491] On 25 June, the Franco-Mysorean defenders made repeated sorties against British lines, though all assaults failed. On 30 June, news arrived of a preliminary peace between the belligerent powers, and the siege was effectively over when the French abandoned the siege.[492] Mangalore remained under siege, and capitulated to Sultan on 30 January 1784.[493] Little fighting took place thereafter, and Mysore and Britain made peace on 11 March.[484]
