The '''United States of America''', or the '''United States''', is a country in central North America.

Originally founded as the '''Thirteen Colonies of British America''', what would become the United States was founded by [[Britain|British Empire]] as a part of it's New World holdings, before becoming independant following the [[American Revolutionary War]].

==History==
===Presidency===
[[George Washington]] served as the commander of the [[Continental Army]] in the [[American Revolutionary War]] (during which time he was allied with the [[Assassin]] [[Connor]]) from 1775 to 1783 and was the first President of the United States from 1789 to 1797.<ref name="AC II - Glyphs 2 and 3">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[Glyphs|Glyphs 2 ("Sixty-Four Squares") and 3 ("Descendants")]]</ref>

By the end of the American Revolution, Washington had come into the possession of the [[Third Apple|Third Apple of Eden]], which was passed on throughout the American Presidency from that point on.<ref name="AC II - Glyphs 2 and 3"/>
===World War Era===
During the World Wars the Assassins influence of America changed to a Templar influence. The greatest example of this is during WW2 when the Templars [[Winston Churchill ]]and [[Franklin D. Roosevelt |Franklin D. Roosevelt worked]] along side their "enemy" [[Adolf Hitler ]]to profit and spread the Templar influence in the world through arms deals and medical supplies amking the world more dependent on Templar controlled companies.

===Assassinations===
On 14 April 1865, [[John Wilkes Booth]] plotted and executed the murder of President [[wikipedia:Abraham Lincoln|Abraham Lincoln]]. His attack was successful, though his accomplices failed to take out the other two targets. Booth tried to escape but was eventually cornered and shot in the confusion. Unknown to all the others, Booth was actually killed by the [[Assassins]], as his plans were a threat to the world.<ref name="ac2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' - [[Glyphs|Glyph]]</ref>

On November 22, 1963, President [[John F. Kennedy]] was [[Assassination of John F. Kennedy|assassinated]] in Dallas, Texas by [[Lee Harvey Oswald]], a [[Templars|Templar]] agent. Kennedy was killed because he wanted to make a joint mission to the Moon – where a [[Fifth Apple|Piece of Eden]] was located – with the [[Russia]]ns.<ref name="ac2"/>

===Philadelphia Project===
In 1943, [[Abstergo Industries]] experimented with the possibilities of invisibility and time-traveling, resulting in the [[Philadelphia Project]]. Through the use of a [[Piece of Eden]], they managed to send a ship to the future, where it stayed for approximately 18 minutes before returning to the normal timeline.<ref name="Assassin's Creed - Conference Room E-mail">''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' – [[E-mails#Conference room e-mail|Conference Room E-mail]]</ref>

===The Great Purge===
During the late 20th century, [[Daniel Cross]] lived in [[Philadelphia]], where he lived a life of hallucinations, drugs and alcohol. After a heavy night of drinking, he tried to assassinate a man he thought was a [[Templars|Templar]], but was taken away by [[Hannah Mueller]] before he could do any harm. She took him to an Assassin camp, where he met with [[Paul Bellamy]], though he didn't stay long and went back to his apartment to get his medication. When he and Hannah arrived, he realized he didn't have any medication left.<ref name="ac:tf">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]''</ref>

Paul Bellamy also made his way to the apartment, having realized why Daniel Cross was having hallucinations, he told of his great-grandfather, [[Nikolai Orelov]]. Daniel had another hallucination and realized he had to meet [[The Mentor (2000)|The Mentor]].<ref name="ac:tf"/>

When he finally met the Mentor, and was handed a [[Hidden Blade]], the experiments Abstergo had used him for started giving him the urge to assassinate the Mentor, which he did.<ref name="ac:tf"/>

After that, he traveled back to Abstergo Industries' lab in Philadelphia, where the Templars got all the information they needed to deal a major blow to the Assassins from him. He was then placed in the [[Animus]] to explore his ancestor's memories.<ref name="ac:tf"/>
===Modern Day (Late 20 - Early 21 century)===
Ever since the World War era the Assassins began losing influence on the American people until finally, both the goverment and economy of the once Assassin influenced nation was controlled by the Templars.

===DIA satellite accident===
In the early 21st century, the [[DIA satellite accident]] took place at [[Wikipedia:Denver International Airport|Denver International Airport]]. The precise nature and time of the accident remain unclear, but Abstergo lost one of their [[Second Apple|Pieces of Eden]] in the accident, which caused a delay for the launch of the [[Eye-Abstergo]] satellite as they had planned to.<ref name="Assassin's Creed - Conference Room E-mail"/>

Also, in 2012, a team of Assassins was based in [[Denver]].<ref name="ac:bh">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>
