To me, the Sarajevo Incident was simply the excuse. In practice, it had been coming for a long time; it's just the politicians thought it could be either put off indefinitely or contained to a small, limited fight ("It'll be over by Christmas").

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.
