Nop. The concept goes farrer is the past, from people inventing stories together to just people asking “what if”.
All isn’t from DnD. There was something before. DnD may be the first one to have been commercialized (and successful enough to be remembered).
The concept of professional training of gamed out simulated scenarios, i remember seeing this, separately from d&d, traced back to the same place.

Perhaps. But it was only that war isn’t needed to imagine stories, even if those stories follow some rules.
I was expecting that you would say that not war but conflict is always present.
Not needed. Not hiw we had to get this. Just how we did. Other paths to most things, most less awful than the ones we took.
