You are right. Actually, the first country that started jamming was Italy. This happened during the Mussolini fascist regime 1922-1945. When Mussolini took power in Italy all leftist and liberal parties and trade-unions were banned. The leaders of the Italian Communist Party were in exile in Moscow. They started radio broadcasts over Radio Moscow in Italian - the most famous figure was Palmiro Togliatti. Mussolini answered by starting jamming against these radio transmissions.
