The Illuminati use the Eclectic Alliance to convert Masonic Lodges to Illuminism from 1780.

Weishaupt’s Order of the Illuminati at the University of Ingolstadt has only sixty members in five German cities by 1780, but his ideas have begun to impact society.

Weishaupt and others supposedly wish to attach themselves to Masonic lodges in other Western European countries and in America.

Weishaupt enlists Adolf Francis, Baron Knigge, to expand the Orders’ hierarchical structure to completion.

Weishaupt seeks absolute obedience to him and other influential members, and allegedly works for the overthrow of state and church authorities viewed as impediments to Illuminati progress.

Knigge and Weishaupt begin to compete for leadership of the order.
