I am interested to see if there is a connection between The War and the Faunus Uprising, as there has been no clear time for the latter given. However, if we accept that The War is about 80 years ago, it's my feeling that the Faunus Uprising was much more recent, possibly only a couple of generations ago. As I have said before, Blake's description gives the impression that it was very recent. That is, the students may have been infants at the time. In that sense, I doubt there is a direct connection, but conflicts tend to be connected in various ways. Some sort of indirect impact is undoubtedly at play.
