I have a theory - this may seem dumb but i am going to say it any way - Did Ozpin Start the Great War. Think about it, the world was very un-unified pre the Great War with the rising tensions between Atlas/Mantle and Vale/Vacuo it was basically a Cold War at this point. The  Light God wanted humanity to be unified right - if a war didn't happen - there would be this continued disagreement/contention between the two sides so Ozpin ordered one of his men to start the first kill. The purpose for the Great War was to unify the four kingdoms and to destory the barriers between them. Thanks to the Relics not only was Ozpin won the war but he also created the four academies as well as the perfect hiding places to put the relics - none of which would have been possible without the Great War.
