How accurate do you think those "facts" and background information are in the game?

Background stuff? Probably pretty decent. The AC research teams really seem to put in work on history, the main story obviously is historical/science fiction.

I would suggest reading the actual historical record on the events and not wonder if they are being accurate. Since this is a video game I would find the content highly suspect. Their mission is to sell games not educate the public. I would put this a step or two down from something like an historical fiction novel.

I've always been impressed with their recreation of history, given the fictional story lines. There is an obvious bias in the games, but I think that may be necessary to fit their fiction.

The AC team has done fantastic work throughout the entire franchise of keeping the game accurate to recorded historical events.
