...When did the Faunus War take place? Was it before or after the Great War?

I ask this because we were told that the Vytal Treaty at the end of the Great War awarded Faunus equal rights and ownership of Menagerie. The Faunus War happened because Humans were trying to force all Faunus on Remnant to live in Menagerie. It seems like, if the Faunus War happened before the Great War, giving them Menagerie in the Vytal Treaty would've been a massive dick move that wouldn't have gone over very smoothly.

"Hey, you know that tiny continent we tried to force your entire population to live on and you had to fight not to have that happen? Haha, yeahhh uhh, we give you that continent as a gift. ;)"

It seems like the Faunus War may have taken place after the Great War. The Faunus were gifted ownership of Menagerie after the Great War, and Humans were like "Hey, so, you know that continent we gave you guys. Why don't all of you go live there?" and tried to force them all to move there. Like it or not, the entire world's Faunus population wouldn't be able to live comfortably on Menagerie. It's smaller than the other continents, and 2/3 of it is inhospitable desert.

So, if the Faunus War did take place after the Great War, that means them being awarded equal rights by the Vytal Treaty didn't fix all their problems. We already know the Great war was before Faunus War, Vytal was like 80 years ago while the turning point of the Faunus war was...~15?(Oobleck in history class)
