Well, I remember writing an entirely imagined scenario about the Grimm Wars, but basically it boils down to: Once there was no Grimm, then tragedy happened and gave birth to an antagonist, then antagonist created the Grimm, and at the very end when all hope is lost, man discovered Dust (which, for irony's sake, is discovered through the method of creating the Grimm) and fought back.

However, even though the antagonist is gone, the price is high and most of the world was lost to the Grimm. Faunus and Humans became separated (no telling how many other 'races' are in RWBY's universe yet), and when they met again they were like strangers when once they were as close as brothers. Peace regained, people grew complacent and restless, and war started once more - this time between Faunus and Humans. And we're back to the present.
