I was going to point out that the scar was from the robot armour fight (despite people claiming a small art error means it's not), but then I remembered a popular theory is that it's a metaphor for her father, so that could definitely be true.

The Faunus Rights Revolution is definitely different and more recent than The War, make especially clear by Ozpin's description of The War. The Faunus "War" was never really a war anyway, it was a revolution, just as Oobleck said. Also remember that Jaune's great-great grandfather fought in The War, which sounds all noble and awesome... not exactly something that fits with the FRR.

Both thematically, and in terms of how long ago they took place, The War is World War I and II, while the Faunus Rights Revolution is the African-American Civil Rights Movement (turned more violent).
