Didn't Qrow say that "some Faunus saw it [the gifting of Menagerie] for what it really was; a slap in the face"? That suggests the Faunus Rights War was before the Great War in my mind. It could also be a slap in the face in the sense that, while the kingdoms' territories were redistributed (according to WoR: The Great War), the Faunus were given a tiny continent, only 1/3 of which is actually habitable. It's a pretty shitty gift.

We already know the Great war was before Faunus War, Vytal was like 80 years ago while the turning point of the Faunus war was...~15?(Oobleck in history class)

"Now, which one of you young scholars can tell me what many theorize to be the turning point in the third year of the War?"

The turning point was stated to be in the third year of the war, but he never said how long ago it happened.

... Why do you take a stance where you outright assume... everything that you said? I actually used evidence provided by the show, while there is no evidence telling us that the shops were coy about refusing service and the WF attacked those shops with baseless assumptions that they were being refused service.

And how are Weiss' statements of the WF kidnapping and killing people close to her family and stealing Dust from the SDC "biased"? How can she be biased about whether or not those things actually happened? Especially since Blake even outright tells Sun that, after its turn to violence, the WF began "hijacking cargo from companies that used Faunus labor." Jacques himself even said that the SDC hires Faunus to work in their mines: "We offer Faunus the exact same wages given to the rest of our mining staff."
