Golden Age of Piracy

The Golden Age of Piracy is the name given to three separate time periods characterized by one or more outbursts of piracy. In the broadest sense, the Golden Age was the time period between the 1650s to the 1730s.

Piracy arose over small conflict with colonial trade and colonization. Among rival European powers. Most pirates were of Spanish, British, French, Dutch and Portuguese empires.

According to an image released by Ubisoft, the Golden Age of Piracy started after the Spanish war ended. At the time, the British army discharged 2/3 of its loyal members, thus leading the existing people who were abandoned to be involved into piracy. The Assassin Pirate Edward Kenway was also abandoned from the army by the British army.
