History is the backdrop, not the entire plot. Someone who knows all about the French Revolution couldn't possibly know what all played out in relation to the Assassin-Templar War and the Pieces of Eden.

I remember learning about the French Revolution in history class, but it was all pretty basic and certainly not an entire timeline of events that transpired during the era. Same goes for another other period of history we got taught in class. Plus the only things I remember learning something about were the Dutch Golden Age, (we had an entire chapter on this), the Cold War, and to my annoyance, World War II in every year. I chose to do my final project on Napoleon's expedition to Egypt, but I wouldn't be able to tell you all about it anymore.

I'm personally pretty keen for something during the (probably with several Assassins to span the entire war) or the. But I'd rather see the era of China, Russia under Ivan the Terrible,  or the.
