Because it nearly mirrored WWI. In WWI, the European combatants, naturally, fought the majority of their land battles in Europe (trench warfare, etc.), but some land battles and naval battles were fought in Asia, and the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Those same lands and oceans were fought on or in by the same European nations that fought in the French and Indian wars.

Stated another way, other than the date and modern equipment/weapons; WWI and the French & Indian War were fought in almost the same places by the same nations (countries).

Almost...meaning, the American colonies which were a major battlefield during the French and Indian War, was NOT a battlefield at all during WWI (aka the Great War).
