The main historical events of Assassin's Creed III occur during which conflict?

The main historical events of Assassin's Creed III occur during the American Revolution.

The game follows Ratonhnhaké:ton, also known as Connor, through the decades surrounding the American Revolution. Its story includes events and figures connected with the colonial conflict, including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Samuel Adams.

Assassin's Creed III was released in 2012 and is set primarily in the northeastern Thirteen Colonies. Boston, New York, and a large rural area called the Frontier form the main playable regions. The narrative combines the fictional Assassin–Templar struggle with real political and military events.

The War of 1812 is a related later conflict, but it is not the main historical framework of Assassin's Creed III. The game's central period is the American Revolution, which began in 1775 and led to American independence.
