Firstly, most characters have German names, except Mikasa really but they say she comes from a different part of the world anyway (Asia I'd guess). In 'The Basement' there's the flashback of Grisha as a kid and him and his sisters wear those bands. It seems a lot like the bands the Jews used to have to wear during WWII, and seeing how everyone's name is Germanic, could it mean that the present life within the walls is a result of WWII? Or id it has anything to do with the Nazis? If anyone knows answers to this just hit me with a 'yes' or 'no', without any spoiling. Anyways, overall I'm loving the direction it's taking, it makes it really interesting and relatable to a more real society I think. First thing: I won't say if you're right or not, but you're theory is consistent, regardless of it being true or not.

For Mikasa, it is said in the sixth episode of the first season that she's from a region named "Asia", so there is no spoiler here, it's something revealed a long time ago. At the time, from the viewers point of view, it just meant that some Asian managed to escape Titans and lived inside the walls with the remaining survivors of humanity.

- The life within the walls is a result of WWII? No

- Or it has anything to do with the Nazis? No. No nazi in SnK.

Basically, in the next episode, you'll have the explanations for your questions, most of them at least. You'll understand in the great lines the "truth about this world" (the details will be developped in season 4).
