1939?

Before WW2, there would have been no need to call it the "first" world war.

@shavixmir said
Wrong.

Next guess.

The called it the Great War for a long time. My guess sometime in the 50's

Come on folks! Get guessing!

@shavixmir
So you are saying someone KNEW there would be a second WW? And therefore called it WW1? In 1914?

I believe 1939 is correct.

Is this a “debate”?

Anyway, I guess straight after WW2 so 1945/1946.

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

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.
