The events of Assassin's Creed III take place mainly during which historical conflict?

Assassin's Creed III takes place mainly during the American Revolutionary War.

Released in 2012, the game follows Ratonhnhaké:ton, also known as Connor, a Kanien'kehá:ka Assassin. Its historical story covers the period from the 1750s into the early 1780s, placing Connor among major events of the American Revolution.

The game includes cities such as Boston and New York, along with a large frontier region. Historical figures including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Samuel Adams appear in the narrative. The conflict is presented through the series' fictional Assassin–Templar struggle rather than as a simple retelling of military history.

The subtitle's Roman numeral distinguishes this game from later entries set in other revolutions. Assassin's Creed Unity, for example, focuses on the French Revolution. Assassin's Creed III also introduced naval missions and a new game engine designed for larger environments and more complex crowds.
