Noah Sheidlower has made thousands writing and editing trivia questions for school competitions. To be fair, I don't often write the one-liner, pub-style trivia questions that trivia enthusiasts and beer lovers alike play every Tuesday night. Outside of journalism, I write and edit trivia questions for various high-school and college competitions as a side gig. And they've helped many in the quiz bowl community want to learn more and become more inquisitive about the world.

The answer is: The last battle of America’s war of independence was fought on this continent. DuVal and others say two key protagonists of the Revolutionary War – Britain and France – actually fought the final battle of the conflict in Cuddalore, India, in June of 1783. Britain and, to a lesser extent, France were well established with colonies in India when the American Revolution began and had already brought their hostilities from Europe to the subcontinent, according to the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia. “They brought news that six months before in Paris, the British, French and the Americans – the Dutch were a little later – signed the Treaty of Paris ending the American Revolution,” he says. “Cuddalore, India, was indeed the last battle of the American Revolution.”
