As an American, our mid 1700's military history is pretty crowded. No room for some not even regionally impactful war.

This was mid 1600s, and pretty damn regional impactful. Poland-Lithuania was a major power in Europe at the time, and this was the beginning of them losing their power and ceasing to exist over many wars in the next century. We'd know about the Polish Lithuanian commonwealth and how powerful they were if our history left America 1600-1945 for just one of the 12 years.
