minus-squaremarcos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoI guess you are missing some history here. “The Great” War is not the war you’d think about by hearing that name. In fact, the name lasted about 15 years, never to be used again.
minus-squareotp@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoI’m not sure what war you think one would be thinking about – I’ve only ever heard it used to refer to WW1.
