Digging on 1909. Here's an interesting possibility… the Round Table Group was founded in 1909. This is an illuminati secret society with ties in to many other illuminati networks. Pic related.
"The inner elite of this Round Table in the US and UK were the key members of their government's war administrations before and during the First World War… As is provable with documentation, they worked together to engineer the circumstances that led to that global conflict. Through their technique of create-the-problem-then-offer-the-solution, they wanted to destroy the global status quo with that war and therefore have the opportunity to re-draw the world in their agenda's image when the conflict was over. This is precisely what they did."
