1) Salem being isolated from the world =/= "Ozpin did stop Salem".

All we know is that Salem's base is in some remote place, with pools that make Grimm. Nothing says Ozpin forced her to stay there; she easily and logically could've chosen an isolated location on purpose.

2) Even if she was pushed there by Ozpin, she's still alive, still planning, still making Grimm, still trying to ruin Kingdoms, still trying to get the Relics.

So Ozpin didn't stop her at all. Unless you have some weird definition of "stop".

3) Almost no-one knowing Salem exists =/= Ozpin stopped her. It simply means she's not common knowledge.

Which pretty much works to her benefit. Ozpin keeps it secret, and she doesn't show her face publicly. Which would go badly anyway, since she looks like a Grimm person.

4) The 4 Kingdoms fought with each other because Mistralians were assholes to Vale and Mantle was dragged into the conflict and then Vacuo joined the fight.

The Grimm were not kept under control at all. At most, in Mantle, due to Mantle deciding to opress all artistic and expressive freedom specifically to avoid attracting Grimm. No one else did the same.

Even if they were kept under control, they have nothing to do with the Great War beyond being the cause of temporary peace agreements between Kingdoms to get rid of them before resuming their fights.
