Machina War

The Machina War is the name given to the war between Bevelle and Zanarkand which happened a 1000 prior to Final Fantasy X. During the war Zanarkand relied on its summoners while Bevelle started creating fearsome machina. Highly in disadvantage Zanarkand knew it wouldn't stand long against Bevelle's mighty machina.

Not wanting to lose his Zanarkand, Yu Yevon turned all the remaining citizens into Fayth to create a Dream Zanarkand. This exact copy of Zanarkand was created somewhere hidden in the sea. In order to protect the Dream Zanarkand he also created Sin. After being created Sin destroyed the real Zanarkand which brought an ending to the Machina War.

A 1000 years later the war itself may have ended, but the remains of it are still visible throughout Spira. So is Sin still tormenting the lands and are various ancient machina, which where used during the Machina War, being used by both the Al Bhed and Bevelle.

Religion

At the begging of Final Fantasy X Spira is ruled by Bevel who implemented the Teachings of Yevon, who where said to be left by Yu Yevon. These teachings declared that Sin was the punishment for the abuse of machina and that by following the Teachings of Yevon the people of Spira would someday atone for there sins and so free there lands of Sin. Until that time came the only way to "defeat" Sin was to follow an ancient ritual called the Final Summoning, which summoners could option by completing there pilgrimage.

For a 1000 years people have always believed that they could someday atone for there sins by following Yevon's teachings, until Yuna came behind the truth. She found out that Sin was an vessel summoned by Yu Yevon, but each this vessel was destroyed (by the Final Summon) Yu Yevon would use the strength of the Final Summon to create a new vessel. By entering Sin and defeating Yu Yevon from within Yuna and her Guardians brought an end to this endless cycle bringing forth a period called the Eternal Calm.
