Toussaint L’Ouverture also would have been a great pick.

 Born after the event in this painting? (Battle of Plassey, 23 June 1757)
If this had been a few months earlier, it would have been a pass.

^I should’ve sent this as my answer but I wasn’t confident haha

Great round! *Aristocrat’s question really helped, I was about to guess Toussaint L’Ouverture otherwise. Next round up in an hour or so.

You are correct! I had a feeling this would be over soon after those last two questions. Well done!

I was really excited when the US was eliminated as a birthplace on the second question, but I wasn't expecting the birthplace search to go so all over the place.

If yes: primarily known for involvement with Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, or the military?

Technically the non-European, non-African, non-Russia bordering parts of the Ottoman Empire are alive if the person was born in a year other than 1683

 Born in what is now India, Iran, Thailand, Brazil, or Argentina?
No, although Brazil was already eliminated because it borders France.
French Guiana always surprises me when I least expect it.
Nobody expects the French Guiana!

I'm actually going to refund that question, because I would have counted Thailand and Argentina as bordering the Pacific Ocean, or at least passed on the Pacific Ocean question. So you get free info that this person was not born in what is now Iran or India.

 Was this person born in either Europe or a part of the Ottoman Empire in 1683?

(See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire#/media/File:OttomanEmpireMain.png; both the light green and the dark green count, but not the striped green.)
No.
