I think the war could have lasted until around the generation of the students' grandparents. With the parents having been born during the war and being in their teens when it ended.

Blake's parents could have either be faunus whose families fought in the war and then their children continued "fighting" in the Civil Rights movement, hence Blake saying one could almost say she "was born into it"; or have fougth in the war and be among the founders of the White Fang.
