"Ermagerhd guize, we totally can't have World War 1!"

Because all of World War 1 was guns and there was no-one living except soldiers.

Just as much as there was fighting on the front lines, there was the subterfuge and espionage behind enemy lines, war efforts at home, and living in a heightened sense of alert.

Now imagine yourself as an Assassin, who would be unable to reveal why they're doing what they're doing, not even to their own fellow countrymen, so they can be perceived as a spy on both ends and face danger for following their Creed, while also the added danger of supporting one's side, and additionally trying to figure out whether the people on the Allied and Axis sides are Templars trying to influence the outcome or if they're just ordinary generals and commanding officers.
