My thoughts:

The OG War(The war where humans establish themselves)- Occurred ~1000 years ago or long enough to where the history of the war has been mythologized. Similar to the Trojan War; a war that probably happened, but the details about it have to lost and replaced with myth and legend.

The Great War- Occurred ~200-100 year ago(Jaune Arc's Great Grandfather fought in it, which places it in this timescale). Obviously based off of our "Great War"(World War 1). No clear winner; status quo/ balance of power remains roughly the same among the 4 Kingdoms. Some sides pay reparations of some sort, hence Atlas' "gift" to the world. Large loss of life was probably the defining feature of this war.

The Faunus War- Occurred ~50 years ago. Parallels to the Vietnam War. Humans, the "superior" force, go in expecting wipe the floor with Faunus. Faunus use widespread Guerrilla tactics to negate Humanity's technological and/or numerical advantage. Didn't so much end as it did just petered out, with Human support for the war wanning after they got more than they bargained for.

White Fang Insurgency- Began ~5 years ago(Blake states that the White Fang was a peaceful group up until the leadership change 5 years prior). Parallels to the insurgencies that occurred/are occurring in Iraq, Afghanistan, Northern Ireland etc. A large enough number of Faunus have become radicalized enough to form militant organizations. Instead of fighting the Humans in the forests outside the kingdoms in a lengthy Guerrilla fight for survival, they plan on attacking the Humans on their home turf in order to show that the Faunus are a force to be reckoned with.
