The first war was a fictional war between early Humans and Those Who Came Before. Much is unknown about the war, but it led to the First Civilization not seeing the signs of a pending apocalypse which led to the destruction of almost all of both races and much of the earth.
Causes
Seen in the truth video, Humans were being used as a work force (slaves) by the first civilization. They used the Pieces of Eden to bend the will of man and make them work, but the Half-breed Humans seemed to have developed an immunity towards the Pieces of Edens' effects, allowing two early Humans called "Adam and Eve" to escape Eden (or the Garden of Eden as named in the Bible) and bring with them a stolen Piece of Eden, one of the Apples (there are numerous Apples of Eden). This most likely caused the war and also inspired the story of the Garden of Eden, with the first civilization being the creator, or "God", who threw them out. Templars use the other story as a cover up to control humanity.
The War
Soon many humans were set free and rebelled against the ones who came before. Minerva says "We were great, but you were many."It seems that those who came before had better technology but the humans were many and built to survive in any conditions.This survival instinct may have been later known as evolution.
The war was cut short as the massive solar flare from our sun hit the Earth. Another quote of Minerva is "We were so busy dealing with the war on the grounds, we didn't notice the warnings from the heavens before it was too late." (needs verification)
Aftermath
Since the First Civilization, the only people who could save the earth, did not see the signs of the pending apocalypse, they were unprepared for the massive solar flare that destroyed their civilization.
In Assassin's Creed II it is revealed that scientists theorise that the sun may soon release a solar flare that could be as catastrophic as the first one, with Earth's weakened magnetic field failing to protect the planet from the consequent erratic geological events.
Trivia
- All that is known about The First War comes from the information that Minerva gives Ezio and Desmond at the end of Assassin's Creed II.[1]
