I imagine that the Templars were with the empires which were the spiritual heir from the Roman Empire: East Roman Empire with Constantin, the Carolagian Empire with Charlemagne, the Holy Roman Empire with Othon. The Christianism and Papauty could be strong tools for creating a society with order.

They can also ally with the kingdom of Portugal during the Age of discoveries. They used the Order of Christ, the reformed Templar Order in Portugal. They colonised Africa, India and Bresil. Jesuits Order also help the Portugal, evangelised China, Indonesia and Japan.

Habsburg dynasty could be also a good guess with the empire they had: Austria, Holy Roman Empire, Spain, Milan, Naples, Low lands, New Spain, Peru, Philipines. They also have the Crown of Portugal and their colonies between 1580 and 1640. Philippe II of Spain was married with Mary I of England, an ally of the Templars, and they nearly had the French Crown during the Religion Wars.

For the developpement of capitalism, I think that the Dutch Republic could be a good place for the Templar during the 17th century to developped their power. Then the British Empire as we saw in Rogue and Syndicate during the 18th and 19th century for the industrial and financial powers. Maybe industrials from Germany and USA during the 19th and 20th century.

For the Assassins, we could imagine their partipated to the South american Revolution in the 19th century, the People Spring  and the movements of decolonization during the 20th century.

Anarchist movement during the 19th could be allied with Assassins as in Russia but some are extrem. Maybe He could be related with the radical tactics of Jack the Ripper with a Brotherhood which had less principles during this period.

For French Religion War, The two faction could fight in each factions: Guise for  the Templars and Bourbons for the Assassins. Each factions wanted to control the French King.

For the Napoleonic Wars, i don't know: Germain's Templars wanted to destroy the monarchy but some were against him and restored the Ancien Regime. The Assassins are for liberty but Arno was an ally of Napoleon.
