How do you know that to be true? This version of history only comes from the Marlyean accounts. Marlyeans made up false historical figures and brainwashed their citizens into believing certain things were historical, so, it's very likely that little of their version of history is correct—if any at all.

You have to keep in mind that the Marleyan government is genocidal and is trying to justify why it locks up the Eldians in ghettos and sends them to kill their brethren (as Titans) on Paradis. Nothing — and I do mean nothing — that they say, regarding the history of the world, the Titans, the Walls, and the Eldians, can be taken even slightly seriously until there is some sort of evidence to substantiate their claims (and even if that evidence appears, they're still genocidal maniacs that literally no one should support).

All we know for certain is that, sometime in the last century, King Fritz moved as many of the Eldian people to Paridis, turned many of them into Titans to create the Walls, and imposed his will on the Founder. His motivations are entirely unknown, as the only accounts we have (which vary depending on who is giving the account) come from propaganda and untrustworthy sources.
