1939?
Before WW2, there would have been no need to call it the "first" world war.
11 Dec '19 09:55@shavixmir saidThe called it the Great War for a long time. My guess sometime in the 50's
Wrong.
Next guess.

@shavixmir
So you are saying someone KNEW there would be a second WW? And therefore called it WW1? In 1914?
11 Dec '19 17:22@shavixmir saidIt was absolutely during World War II as I've seen sources from late in WWII refer to WWI as the first world war.
Wrong.
Next guess.
11 Dec '19 18:19@sh76 saidNo sir. Guess again.
It was absolutely during World War II as I've seen sources from late in WWII refer to WWI as the first world war.
Assuming 1939 is wrong (and I'm not convinced it is), I'd guess 1942 or 1943.
11 Dec '19 18:19@divegeester saidNo sir. Guess again.
Is this a “debate”?
Anyway, I guess straight after WW2 so 1945/1946.
