Oobleck said the Faunus War sounded like Ancient History but were recent events.

An easy real life example of something that to a teen is Ancient History despite being recent I can give you is the "National Reorganization Process" that went down between 1976–1983. To me? Ancient history, I was born in 1995, I only heard of it in history class. But my mother had just finished Secondary School when it started and most of my teachers lived through it, so of my classmates even had parents/uncles who fought in the Malvinas/Falklands War.

Also, wars can easily last for generations. Just look at the Israel-Palestina conflict, it can be traced back to the XIX century.
