Violet Hill- Ishval (Or Ishbal)

This song and video has quite a history, you see. The video talks about one of the most repeated and talked about (And all out important) events of the past in Fullmetal Alchemist, and that is the Isval Extermination Campain, when Furher President King Bradely ordered Ishval to be exterminated after 7 years of war. Why it started, here's how, from the very VERY begining. Ishval's religion has one god, Ishvala, and he is to be the creater of all things, and to the Ishvalans, alchemists were a sin to god, for they were creaters and judged themselves to god's power, and when Ametris tried to teach them Alchemy, they broke out into small minor fights. These built up till finally an Ametris soldier fired his gun at an Ishvalan child, killing the child, then the war began. They exterminated the Ishvalans, yes, but there are small camps of them living in hiding. A common Ishvalan who is very important to the show is our lovely criminal Scar, who only targets State Alchemists, Alchemists who work for the army, commonly known as 'Dogs of the Military' for they are forced to kill with Alchemy when needed, because State Alchemist's were sent out into the extermination campain, and killed all the ones they could kill, helping military out. NOTE: Please pull video up onto full screen for best effect
