	Abstergo's influence spread beyond the bounds of the Earth, as it helped establish and fund the [[NASA\|National Aeronautics and Space Administration]] in 1958. Ostensibly, NASA was a civilian branch of the U.S. government, but in reality, it was tasked with producing new space-going technologies for Abstergo and Templar use. After the Templars became aware of the existence of an [[Apple of Eden 5\|Apple of Eden]] on the [[Moon]]'s surface, they tasked NASA with working towards a mission to land on the Moon and retrieve the artifact.<ref name="AC2 Glyphs">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[Glyphs]]</ref>		Abstergo's influence spread beyond the bounds of the Earth, as it helped establish and fund the [[NASA\|National Aeronautics and Space Administration]] in 1958.

	Firmly in control of the United States government, Abstergo continued its interference in other nations. In the 1970s, Abstergo focused on [[Argentina]] and [[Chile]] out of a recognized need "to ensure the company's success" and allow their agents "to move freely from country to country and maintain power within all of them".<ref name="ACB Rifts" /> In Argentina, Abstergo promised leading capitalists that they would pass their corporate debt to the Argentinian public, in return for the support of the ruling Junta and the elimination of the Argentinian trade unions.

	The Plan included creating the [[Federal Reserve System]] as the central American banking system (which they accomplished in 1913), establishing Abstergo Industries as a new front for the Templar Order, and initiating a World War in the late 1930s. This war would allow the Templars to reshape governments in its aftermath by leveraging their political influence.<ref name="ACB Rifts"/>		The Plan included creating the [[Federal Reserve System]] as the central American banking system (which they accomplished in 1913), establishing Abstergo Industries as a new front for the Templar Order, and initiating a World War in the late 1930s.

	Officialy founded in 1937, Abstergo Industries was actually one small part of the Templar scheme to control the world through capitalism and scientific progress. ~~The~~ company's establishment enabled the Templars to accumulate wealth and accelerate scientific progress, while keeping their true activities covert. Abstergo's largely anonymous leadership claimed that their duty was to "shepherd those beneath us through life, even if force is required".<ref name="ACB Rifts" />		Officialy founded in 1937, Abstergo Industries was actually one small part of the Templar scheme to control the world through capitalism and scientific progress.

	One of Abstergo's earliest known operations was their search for a [[Piece of Eden]] – a [[crescent amulet]] – which had been hidden in the sea near the [[Strait of Malacca]] two centuries prior. In the early 1940s, the [[Ourang Medan\|SS ''Ourang Medan'']] was dispatched to retrieve the artifact, but the mission ended in failure when the ship and its entire crew mysteriously vanished.<ref name="FT 74">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 74\|Episode 74]]</ref>		One of Abstergo's earliest known operations was their search for a [[Piece of Eden]] – a [[crescent amulet]] – which had been hidden in the sea near the [[Strait of Malacca]] two centuries prior.

	During [[World War II]], Abstergo remained quiet, but kept track of the progress made abroad by ~~Templar puppets~~ "H" and "S" ([[Adolf Hitler]] and [[Joseph Stalin]]). In the United States, Abstergo and other Templar-controlled corporations ceded rights to its workers and their labor unions, but only as a means to tie the people closer to the Templar capitalist vision.<ref name="ACB Rifts" />		During [[World War II]], Abstergo remained quiet, but kept track of the progress made abroad by Templar puppets "H" and "S" ([[Adolf Hitler]] and [[Joseph Stalin]]).

	By the final decades of the 20th century, Abstergo emerged from the shadows as a powerful corporation leading the way in pharmaceuticals, though it also engaged in research in other fields, such as communications. For example, in 1985, Abstergo's research division was secretly working on a device capable of imitating the mind-controlling properties of a Piece of Eden across a network.<ref name="ACB Rifts" /> That same year, Abstergo developed its first fully-functional [[Animus]] device and began to seek out appropriate test subjects.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>		By the final decades of the 20th century, Abstergo emerged from the shadows as a powerful corporation leading the way in pharmaceuticals, though it also engaged in research in other fields, such as communications.

	In 1991, Abstergo helped [[Boris Yeltsin]] to overthrow [[Mikhail Gorbachev]], the legitimate head of state and reformer of the Soviet Union, after which Yeltsin introduced privatization of the massive state-owned industries. As such, these industries were quickly taken over by oligarchs, and by 1993, Yeltsin disbanded the Russian Parliament and Constitutional Court. After nearly 80 years of fighting against communism, Abstergo and the Templars had finally eliminated the largest obstacle to the global spread of capitalism. As a failsafe, Abstergo then made sure future ~~leader~~ [[Vladimir Putin]] ~~would~~ continue to push for capitalism just as his predecessor Yeltsin had.<ref name="ACB Rifts" />		In 1991, Abstergo helped [[Boris Yeltsin]] to overthrow [[Mikhail Gorbachev]], the legitimate head of state and reformer of the Soviet Union, after which Yeltsin introduced privatization of the massive state-owned industries.

	At the end of the 20th century, Subject 4 of Abstergo's [[Animus Project]], given the codename "[[Daniel Cross]]", infiltrated the Assassin Order as a sleeper agent and successfully killed its global leader, [[Mentor (2000)\|the Mentor]]. Cross then returned to an Abstergo [[Abstergo Philadelphia Facility\|facility]] in [[Philadelphia, United States\|Philadelphia]] and provided the locations of Assassin training camps across the world that he had visited. Templar agents would raid these camps, eliminating their inhabitants or capturing them for use in the Animus Project. The operation, referred to as the "[[Great Purge]]", eradicated most of the modern-day Assassin Order, allowing Abstergo to continue its goals virtually unopposed.<ref name="ACTF">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]''</ref>		At the end of the 20th century, Subject 4 of Abstergo's [[Animus Project]], given the codename "[[Daniel Cross]]", infiltrated the Assassin Order as a sleeper agent and successfully killed its global leader, [[Mentor (2000)\|the Mentor]].

	That same year, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and Templar ~~puppet~~ [[Antonin Scalia]] convinced [[Sandra Day O'Connor]] to retire. Scalia sent a letter to "S" in which he mentioned that "W" ([[George W. Bush]]) would [[Iraq War\|restart animosities]] with Iraq, which in turn would give "C"'s ([[Dick Cheney]]) contractors more work. From there, the Supreme Court could dissolve standing campaign finance laws, which would allow Abstergo to effectively place anyone it chose in the Senate, House, and the Presidency.<ref name="ACB Rifts" />		That same year, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and Templar puppet [[Antonin Scalia]] convinced [[Sandra Day O'Connor]] to retire.

	In November 2004, the American author [[Gary Webb]] was writing a book on the CIA, and through his research, he had discovered evidence that Abstergo had interests in every large company across the planet.
