On May 1st, 1776, the Order of the Illuminati was founded. The Enlightenment-age secret society was created by Adam Weishaupt, and came to be in Ingolstadt (Upper Bavaria). Weishaupt was the first lay professor of canon law at the University of Ingolstadt.
According to InfoWars, the movement largely consisted of freethinkers, secularists, liberals, republicans and pro-feminists, all of which were recruited in the Masonic Lodges of Germany. The organization sought to promote perfectionism through mystery schools and, as a result, was infiltrated, broken and suppressed by the government agents of Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria, in an attempt to prevent the threat secret societies pose (read: overthrow the monarchy and state religion).
In the late 18th century, a number of free-thinkers, such as Scottish physicist John Robison and French Jesuit priest Augustin Barruel, began to speculate that the Illuminati group survived suppression and was even responsible for masterminding the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. Since then, the Order has repeatidly been accussed of being ‘enlightened’ absolutists who are attempting to secretly orchestrate a world revolution in an attempt to globalize the most radicla ideals of the Enlightenment. The Order stands for anti-clericalism, anti-monarchism, and anti-patriarchalism.
Although many believe that the Illuminati was disbanded and destroyed  so long ago, this doesn’t seem to be the case. Evidence suggests that the Rothschild dynasty – which owns roughly half of the world’s wealth – has funded both sides of major wars, including the United States Civil War. This list might also convince you of the Illuminati’s presence.
