According to Grisha,for 1700 years the Eldian Empire ruled the other races with oppression and drove some to extinction because of the power of titans, practicing such things as ethnic cleansing that is until they lost in the Great Titan War and retreated to an Island known as Paradis but left behind some of their people to the mercy of the victors of that war the Marleyans who treat them very cruely(as shown by what happened to Grisha's sister, Fey).They brainwashed the Eldian kids who were to become Shifters(Reiner,Bertholdt,Annie & Zeke) into thinking that the Eldians are an impure/defiled race(which we've seen Reiner & Bertoldht say,something we also saw with Grisha's father) and deserve to die and sent them to Paradis where they caused many casualties by destroying the wall of Shiganshina.
There's also the Eldian restoration movement and Grisha, they are indeed horribly treated and they seek freedom from the oppression but their plan was to take the coordinate and become the rulers themselves repeating the cycle again,though that ended when they were betrayed by Grisha's son and sentenced to Paradis as mindless titans.Grisha most likely gave Eren the power of the coordinate to push his previous agenda after finding out that Eren wasn't like his previous son.
The Marleyans have become like the Eldians were when they were in power and do the same things that were done to them, the revo's had the plan of doing the same thing to the Marleyans and the Eldians were once very cruel when in power,leading to the query of who are the bad guys in this story?
The brainwashed shifters?The Eldians?The Marleyans?The Eldian restoration movement and Grisha? Whose side are we supposed to be on?
