Firstly, you cannot brand everything under the same "Zeon" banner. Unicorn (the novel anyway, the anime cut out Beagher's full confrontation with the Sleeves civilians in regards to Principality of Zeon history) reminded the viewers pretty well here - the original Republic of Zeon led by Zeon Daikun (Char's father) wanted a peaceful independence movement, but the Zabi family didn't want that and assassinated him and took over, change the country name to the the Principality of Zeon and declared war on the Feds by dropping colonies which led to the One Week War, wiped out half the human population on Earth and in non-Zeon colonies, all killed by the Zeons. The Feds didn't force anything besides the usual economic sanctions, the Feds also didn't declare war, it was all started by the Principality of Zeon led by the Zabi family. Even Minvera in Unicorn acknowledge that and the reason she was so against the Sleeves going for the Laplace Box is because she understood that the followers of the Sleeves led by Full Frontal were taking the wrong path which would not lead to a peaceful resolution. While Minvera is a Zabi her views were definitely more aligned to the original Zeon Daikun view.
I'm not anti-Republic of Zeon led by Zeon Daikun, but I am anti-Principality of Zeon started by the Zabi family and how most of the non-Tomino UC shows tries to white-wash their history, usually by glossing over the fact that Zeon freaking started the war, not only killing billions on Earth, but other Spacenoids that weren't "with" them (that's where they got the colonies to drop). Principality of Zeon were way more corrupted and evil than the Feds, they also weren't really standing for spacenoids, just themselves.
