It was "Years of human conflict, unrestricted mining, and ecological disasters" that ruined Vacuo's natural resources after the war came knocking, and the symbol on the mining rigs that tore the land apart is the SDC's which implies it was Atlas who ruined their wonderful place. And then when the Vacuan's finally had enough, they overthrew the Atlas and Mistral people occupying their home and tossed them out, reclaiming it for themselves but much too late to save the lush jungle and oasis. I think there was a mistake in what you said, Spirit.

Vacuo kicked out Mantle and Mistral during the Great War, so they could join Vale.

I don't remember it being said that Vacuo kicked out Atlas and Mistral after the war. Given that the SDC didn't exist until after the Great War, it seems like Vacuo allowed the people from Solitas to operate in the area.
