The light novel that describes Dazai's entrance exam into the Armed Detective Agency features a former defense facility that was abandoned after the Great War, while the light novel describing the events that led to Dazai leaving the Port Mafia featured a group of ex-soldiers who fought in the last Great War, suggesting that it happened at least a few decades before the series began, at most. Aside from the supernatural abilities most of the characters have, there are multiple references to a 'Great War'.

Alternate Universe: There are definitely signs that this is the case.
