The '''War on Terror''' is an ongoing military campaign, conducted by several NATO-coalition nations, that is focused on the [[Middle East]] with the intent to eliminate both terrorist organizations and the government regimes that support them. The war began in late 2001, after the terrorist attacks on 11 September of that year.

Sometime during the conflict, the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Emmanuel Barraza]] was tasked by the [[Assassin leader]] [[William Miles]] with finding the Templars' presence behind the war. During the mission, Barraza was forced to eliminate a bus full of bomb-rigged children, leading him to vow to never again take another human life.

'''World War I''' (1914 – 1918), also known as the '''First World War''' or the '''Great War''', was an armed military conflict initially between several [[Europe]]an nations and their colonial empires, which soon expanded to include a number of countries from across the [[Earth|globe]].

Principally, the conflict was fought between the two major alliances; the {{Wiki|Triple Entente}}, comprising the [[United Kingdom]], [[France]], and [[Russia]], and the {{Wiki|Triple Alliance}} of [[Germany]] and {{Wiki|Austria-Hungary}}. Although [[Italy]] had also been a member of the Triple Alliance, it did not join the {{Wiki|Central Powers}}, as Austria-Hungary had taken the offensive against the terms of the alliance.

The war began after the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian heir presumptive [[Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria|Franz Ferdinand]] by the {{Wiki|Serbs|Serb}} nationalist group, the {{Wiki|Black Hand (Serbia)|Black Hand}}. The death of Franz Ferdinand led to tensions between the European nations, leading to war.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Initiates]]''</ref>

This conflict, like so many before and after it, was heavily influenced by the ongoing [[Assassin–Templar War]], with members of each Order fighting on either side. Notably, during the [[Christmas truce]] of 1914, a [[Templars|Templar]] named [[Erich Albert]], General in the German Army, was assassinated by a British [[Assassin medic (1914)|Assassin]] just moments after the two had worked together to save a wounded soldier's life.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Holidays: Chapter 1 - Ghosts of Christmas Past]]</ref>

The war also affected [[London]], with Zeppelin raids bringing destruction to the city throughout the conflict. In 1916, at the behest of [[Winston Churchill]], the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Lydia Frye]] eliminated a German spy ring operating around [[Tower Bridge]]. The spy ring was led by a Templar [[Master Spy]], who eventually fell to Lydia's blade.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]''</ref>

'''Alexander Hamilton''' (11 January 1757 – 12 July 1804) was a [[Founding Fathers|Founding Father]] of the [[United States]], one of [[George Washington]]'s most trusted advisers during the [[American Revolution]] and the first {{Wiki|United States Secretary of the Treasury}}.

==Biography==
Hamilton was born in the {{Wiki|British West Indies}} in 1757, and was orphaned at the age of 11. Because of his intelligence however, his employers invested their money to send him to America to attend university. He moved to [[New York City|New York]] in 1773, where he began attending [[King's College]]. He was writing pro-rebel articles by 1774, and in 1775, he had joined the Colonial militia. Hamilton later fought during the occupation of New York in 1776. Recognizing his natural leadership qualities, George Washington appointed him as an aide-de-camp.

Five years later, Hamilton had grown eager to return to the battlefield, and he commanded soldiers during the [[Siege of Yorktown]] in 1781. In 1788, Hamilton became a member of {{Wiki|Congress of the Confederation|Congress}} for the state of [[New York]]. He soon became fixed on the funding of the {{Wiki|Federal government of the United States|federal government}}, which was practically non-existent due to the government's reluctance to demand taxes, and soon the financial plan is put to action, recognized today as the Hamiltonian economic program.

Having been named Secretary of the Treasury in 1787 and released the first war bonds in 1790, Hamilton fought for a strong federal government, in stark opposition to politicians like [[Thomas Jefferson]], who fought for {{Wiki|states' rights}}. During this tenure, Hamilton was responsible for creating much of the United States' economic policy.
