Sometime before 6000 years ago, the Earth was invaded by the Gem Homeworld. Earth became a Gem-controlled planet. At some point a high ranking Gem soldier/general started having second thoughts about what homeworld had planned for it. That Gem fomemted a rebellion 6000 years ago and (likely) split the Gem forces between those who wanted to stop homeworld and those who were still loyal. Many Gems were destroyed and people too.

Greg to Steven: "They were doing something awful to the planet and your mother couldn't stand it anymore. She told me that's why she had to turn on her kind. She gave up everything to stop what *they* (the aliens, Rose included) started here and drive the invading Gems off the earth."

Greg: "They don't want you thinking of them like that!"

Steven: "Like what?"

Greg: "Like aliens, Steven! Aliens who invaded Earth! All they want is to make up for it. They just can't forgive themselves (Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl.)

I think Rose was, at first, with the invasion. Obviously, she was the one that started the rebellion and was probably the leader of the rebel Gem faction.
