A wee competition. No googling! Just use your common sense and knowledge.

When was the 1914 to 1918 war first called the first world war?

1895

Jules Verne or was it H.G. Wells?

Ok, I googled it. (I cheated)
Sept 3, 1939.

Google is incorrect.

And why the hell are you cheating?? God damn. And if you cheat, at least get it right.

So: wrong.

Next guess.

You’re thinking of the 2nd Petrrici war in Mongolia.

Please don’t tell us it was Nostradamus 🙄

Never heard of him.

The last living WWI American veteran Frank Buckles, only died like 6, 8 years ago.

The 7-year war?
Or the Crimean War?
Or the class struggles? (ie Marxism)
