{I'm starting to feel we read very different history books.}

WW1 was detonated by the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie by  Gavrilo Princip (some versions say he carried out the assassination on his won, others for and extremist Serbian party). That caused a the web of secret and not so secret alliances, deals and compromises that European countries had been growing in the past years to become exposed. What should have been a conflict between two factions ended up growing up exponentially.

If we go with the theory that Menagerie was a long standing issue since before the Great War, then we can interpret that as colonialism. Basically, as I had said before, the kingdoms wanted (needed?) more territory, and rather than clean areas from Grimm presence themselves, they took the territories belonging to the faunus.

But in post-Great War the faunus seized their chance and partially succeed to regain the territories that were taken from them.
