I'm not sure about all of what you've talked about and I could always be mistaken, but I do have some things I've read here and there.

The modern concept behind the Huntsmen was created on the island of Vytal during the peace talks that ended the Great War. Whether groups like them have always existed in smaller, unofficial capacities though is unknown.

Not much is known about the Grimm. All that's really known is that they attack Humans and Faunus alike on sight. Judging from what we've seen at the end of Volume 3, there's more to the Grimm than we thought.

Not really much to say about Beacon. It was likely established around the same time as the Huntsmen if you ask me.

Same with the Faunus. Not much is known about them besides the fact that they exist and are discriminated against by some Humans.

Dust is a naturally occurring energy source on Remnant, but I'm sure you already knew that.

Don't know how exactly it works due to the many ways it's been used. Bullets, crystals, powder, sown into clothing, and one World of Remnant episode said that Dust can be directly weaved into one's body.

All I know is that RT has stated that Dust is NOT magic, but simply works in ways that might as well make it magic.

Not really sure about the other Kingdoms. All wenknownisnthat Atlas, Mistral, and Vacuo have very different climates. Atlas is up north, so it's likely very cold; Vacuo is in or near a desert, so it's likely pretty hot during the day and cold at night; and then Mistral...I don't really know, but Qrow once mentioned a swamp when he was writhing the borders of the kingdom.

I don't think much of anything is know about the different cultures of Remnant.

All I know about wars would be the Great War which I personally allude to RWBY's World War Two; and the Faunus Revolution, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. The Great Wars was just this big war and I think one side wanted to destroy all senses of individuality, so the color naming tradition was implemented to remind people that they are individuals. With the Faunus Revolution, a large number of Faunus too up arms after governments tried to confine them to the Island of Menagerie.
