(where did we leave off ...ah yes the american revolution...see first post)
There was one detrimental factor that forced out the Europian's assault at the end of world war one; the defection of several major British generals.These men were: Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, John Quincy Adams, and George Washington. In the universe of 351 they make up a small portion of a Templar order known as the free masons. Unlike our universe the Templar crusades were not a march into the middle east rather they were a secret order who guarded and explored Europa's ARK ( A time capsule housing ancient tech and organisms from the first and second age). The "crusades" in 351 cover a brief period where Rakash ( anthropomorphic animal human hybrids) flooded out of Europa's Ark and began attacking near by settlements eventually arriving in the middle-east.
The Rakash took up root in the middle east in the final days of the crusades making their last stand in Jerusalem. This event solidified the Templar's financial backing allowing them to break off into two groups: the Illuminati and Freemason, organizations that specialize in social control (more on that later).
By the time of World War I the Freemason were well established making it easy for them to cross borders even in times of conflict. This is how our group of founding fathers ended up aiding the expulsion of foreign forces in the ASU and claim fame as the architects of the ASU tri-partisan system. Changing The ASU into a democracy similar to what we see in our world today. There is still a Commander and chief, however, on earth 351 this person is chosen by a council of tribe elders. This is the same for the two other nations, thus all major decisions for the ASU are made by a tribunal. This practice is still currently used in the modern age. However the ASU was not always a place of allied nations and similar to japan has a bloody history.
OK I think that's enough for today... keep up ill get to all the goody bits that make up our main features.
