That's possible but not certain; we don't know how long White Fang's frustrations about the inequalities of 'peace' took to boil over. It could easily have been generations, in which case, it's possible that Jaune's great-great grandfather fought in the Faunus War.

Regarding the 'unprecendented time of peace' line, I'm going with 'official propaganda'. I remind you of the opening narration's disparaging comment about monuments to a "so called 'peaceful world'."
