jakee 1,564 #8 October 10, 2006 Quote What exactly consititutes a "World War?" What is the defining or pivotal moment that makes it a world war??? Well so far there've only been two, so judging by those its when Europe starts slogging it out and involves the colonies. (Oh, and it has to have been fought in the 20th Century)Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Names of wars are usually the result of either journalistic sales or government propagada. In both cases however, somebody calls it something and enough people agree to use that as the name of it. It should also be noted that the same war can be called different things depending on which side you're on and who "wins".quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,079 #15 October 11, 2006 >It's similar to what I was thinking of saying. I think it's a lot about semantics. Indeed. Heck, the people who fought (and died) in world war 1 did not call it world war 1; they called it the great war. Historians later labeled it world war 1 to distinguish the great war from the later great war (WWII.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,548 #17 October 11, 2006 Quotethe people who fought (and died) in world war 1 did not call it world war 1; they called it the great warAlthough last week I was in New England, and drove by the war memorial in Goshen NH. It was installed in 1923, and called it the World War. Obviously, there wasn't a number. This is a small town of 1000-1500 people. 3 died in WW1. 25 or so died in the Civil War. Let's not forget the impact of a civil war on a country. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

NCclimber 0 #18 October 11, 2006 Most small towns (in what were Union and Confederate states) have memorials near the courthouse or square. On the memorials I've seen, fallen civil war soldiers are several times greater than those for all other wars combined. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
