I don't think they would have called them "World War I" and "World War II" as they didn't yet know they would invalve the entire(or most) of the world.

The first world war was referred to both as
' The Great War ' in old English referrence to large or of moment, also, misleadingly, ' The War To End All Wars ' as the second world war disproved so effectively. It was called The Second World War from the start, I think. I prefer Archie Bunker's call on it:
" Da big one. Douba - ya douba - ya two. "
No. I doubt there's going to be a WWIII. We all know it doesn't go out that way.

There was a September 11 every year during World War II. The War in Europe started September 1, 1939. War ended in Europe May 8, 1945. There were six Sept. 11 during the War in Europe. War was declared on Japan on December 8, 1941. Japan surrendered on September 2, 1945. There were only three Sept. 11 during the war against Japan.

(1) During World War I, it was known as The Great War "until the beginning of World War II when it was renamed."
(2) World War II had no other name, but like you suggested, it wasn't a world war right from the start. Therefore, you could say that the names of the battles that took place before it became a world war are what is important.

Britian and france blockaded the germans one port and started WWI at the treaty of versia spelling all war debt was thrown on the german people. some 30 years later after being humilated a new rage grew out of german for vengence and the call was answered.

I believe that the French sometimes still refer to WWI as la guerre de '14-18: the War of 1914-1918. But, I don't know if that was used in the interwar period.

I think they called the first one the Great War...and then after the second one, they coined the I and II.
