At the moment, the best we can do in terms of 'timeline' is this:

A bloody long time ago - The discovery of Dust turns the tables on the Grimm and allows Humans to create a settled, growing civilisation for the first time;

Five generations ago - The War in which Jaune's great-great grandfather fought; possibly the foundation of The White Fang

About 10 years ago - Blake is involved with the still-peaceful White Fang

Also about 10 years ago - Yang tells Ruby fairy tales that inspires her to become a Huntress

In the last 10 years - White Fang becomes militant, greatly affecting  Blake and Weiss's lives.
