User blog comment:Hidden Scorpius XI/My impressions on "Faunus" (WoR, V4-E6)/@comment-26018514-20161128054220

Great war(~80 Years befor RWBY->Menagerie given to Faunus as spoils)

Oobleck: "This is prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution, more popularly known as the Faunus War!" (zooms up to the front of the class and the map covered in papers behind his desk) "Humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie." (points at the map of said-area with his stick, then zooms off to the side for a sip of his coffee before appearing in front of the desk) "Now! While this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative to remember that these are relatively recent events! Why, the repercussions of the uprising can still be seen to this day!"

Faunus Rights Revolution(lasted longer than 3 years)

Oobleck:"Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence!" (takes another sip of his coffee) "I mean, I mean, I mean just look at what happened to White Fang!".

Blake: "Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between Humans and the Faunus...

... Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as the voice of our people. And I was there...

...I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. I actually thought we were making a difference. But I was just a youthful optimist...

...Then, five years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader, with a new way of thinking...

...Suddenly, our peaceful protests were being replaced with organized attacks. We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us, hijacking cargo from companies that used Faunus labor. And the worst part was, it was working. We were being treated like equals. But not out of respect... out of fear....

...So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence, and instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress. So here I am: a criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little black bow."

so, in conclusion:

Great War->Menagerie->humans attempt to force Faunus to go there to stay-> FRR-> WF(peaceful)->WF(violent)->present day RWBY
