What was World War 1 called before World War 2?
Upvote:8
In France they called it "The Great War" (La Grande Guerre), pacifist veterans called it "La der' des der'" (The Last of the Last (Wars)).
In England it was called the World War, or the Great War.
I think the German diplomats were the first to call it a World War (Weltkrieg), before it even began. I don't know of any other names for it in German.
i know that "satellite" wars have their own names in some countries, like in the Baltic states (where the fighting lasted until 1920) and maybe in Turkey and in Greece.
