I think it probably dates back to earlier than that. Huntsmen, Huntresses and the Academies only started around 80 years ago according to WoR, I get the feeling their little war has lasted since the birth of humanity from Dust as mentioned in the first episode.

Maybe Ozpin discovered Dust and gave it to humanity, sort of like a Prometheus-figure giving man fire. And using that, humanity was able to defy Salem and rise above their station, and that's why she's all annoyed.
