<P> Over 100 years before the beginning of the story on an alternate world , giant human - shaped creatures called Titans ( 巨人 , Kyojin ) suddenly appeared and nearly wiped out humanity , devouring them without remorse or reason . What remains of humanity now resides within three enormous curtain walls : the outermost is Wall Maria ( ウォール ・ マリア , Wōru Maria ) ; the middle wall is Wall Rose ( ウォール ・ ローゼ , Wōru Rōze , sometimes pronounced like rosé ) and the innermost is Wall Sheena ( ウォール ・ シーナ , Wōru Shīna , alt . `` Wall Sina '' ) . Inside these walls , humanity has lived in uneasy peace for one hundred years ; many people growing up without ever having seen a Titan . This all changes when one day , a giant 60 - meter ( 200 ft ) - tall Colossus Titan mysteriously appears after a strike of lightning and breaches the outer wall of the Shiganshina district , a town at Wall Maria , allowing the smaller Titans to invade the district . An Armored Titan smashes clean through the gate in Wall Maria , forcing humankind to abandon the land between Wall Maria and Wall Rose , evacuating the remaining population into the inner districts . The sudden influx of population causes turmoil and famine . </P>
