Wrong section unless you wanted this to turn into a debate.
Palestinians pretty easy to find the answer.
1947 was the first war. Roots of it started in the late 19th century.

When you're asking who lived in the land of Israel first, it really depends on how far back you want to go. If you use the bible as evidence then the original owners of the land of Israel would be the Jews, however they got exiled many times and therefore others began to inhabit the land. Then if you go back to only 70 years ago you would see that Britain owned the land that was formerly called British Mandated Palestine.

And what war are you referring to? If you're referring to the ongoing tension between the Palestinians and the Israelis then it would be when Israel first gained independence in 1948 by the UN, enraging many of the Arabs that had lived there beforehand, leading them to believe that the Israeli's stole their land and obviously this caused resentment and eventually wars between the two parties to the present day.
