| - After the formation of the Hurian Federation in 1951, Rollace Williams had dreams of uniting all of Africa under one leader who would rebuild the continent after centuries of war, colonization, and exploitation. He culd not realize that dream as Huria itself was in no position to embark on such an endeavor yet, as it too was lacking many resources at the time of its creation. Rollace contented himself to developing Huria first, and though he knew he'd never see the day, he wished to plac Huria in a position where it could one day bring all of the African people under its protection. Witnessing the Cold War first hand, the battles of the U.S. and the USSR gave Rollace the idea to follow the superpowers' plans to gain the nations' loyalty through regime change. Such an idea for the time was too dangerous, as the two nations were already fighting over Africa, and Huria was in no position to challenge either yet. He thus had to wait until such a time on of the two nations, hopefully the United States, won, and then move out to gain the favor of the African leaders. As the Cold War came to a close, so too did the world's involvement in Africa. No longer needed for the 40+ year standoff, the African people were of no further use to the current superpower, the United States. At once, Rollace began preparing th continent for Hurian influence. He played on the Africans' feeling of abandonment, such as when the United States and its allies refused to get involved in the Rwandan Genocide, in which Rollace's Huria stepped in immediately, and put the murdering to an end. The small nation along with Burundi, were allowed to join Huria, and share in the benefits gained by being Hurian state. This was done for show as much as aid, to provide the rest of the continent that Huria knew what it was doing, and that they too could join in the progress and wealth Huria was gaining. They of course had to switch their governments to one that was like Huria's, and many nations were not ready for that yet. The plan Rollace envisioned was simple; Create a string of true military nation not unlike Huria, and when the time was right, unite them all to create a single powerful nation that ward off any and every attack from the rest of the world. Huria by the time of Rollace's death in 1997 was already formidable, and was capable of forcibly conquering the continent. However, Rollace made sure that his son and successor, Maurice Williams, did not make the mistake of taking Africa by force. Maurice had seen and heard of the wars in Africa first-hand. His father told him that the African people would not simply roll over and take whatever he gave them, not all of them that was. Unless Maurice wiped out the major population centers as proof of Hurian power, something he didn't want to do, he could not dream of keeping the rest of the continent subdued, and that was why his needed friendly governments on his side.
