K, I searched world war 2 to look at funny Hitler and how he has like, all position's for political and war shit.

I than searched world war 1 on wikipedia to see what the german's were called in WW1, until I noticed that only Europe (and a bit of africa) was attacked. I searched world war 3 in confusion of world war 1 and noticed it says:

Quote
This is the first known instance of the term First World War, which previously had been dated to 1931 for the earliest usage. The term was used again near the end of the war. English journalist Charles A. Repington (1858)


They chose the name World War 1 because of the originality and the liking, not for it was a war that the whole world reacted to(apparently to my mother).

I believe it wasn't a world war and doesn't deserve to be known as that since the first world war was in Europe and the 2nd was kinda around Japan.

Almost every country in the world was fighting in WW2, not so sure about WW1.

WWI was generally fought by the Triple Entent (England, France, Russia) and the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy). However, countries such as Japan, for example, entered the war due to... well, because their fortune cookie said to do so. Nah, because of their war honour with Britain - or something along those lines. So, quite generally the world was at war.

if it's called world war, the WHOLE world would be at war, and they chose the name world war due to the awesomness of the title and so people can remember it.

It was originally called "The Great War" due to the fightings in Europe during 1914-18. When another "great war" came around in the 1930s-40s they decided to rename the first war "World War 1" And this one WW2.

Where must we go... we who wander this Wasteland in search of our better selves?

They call it the 'World War' due to the fact that, whether all participated in it or not, it generally affected the ENTIRE world.

Yeah I bet football players in Brazil were highly affected by this.

And we do not try to be real life, as why would you ever play real life if you have one ? We play the GTA universe, and our players should try to live in the GTA world, not the real one.

I don't play COD much, I play MOH but I don't go, oh, so that's what happened in the war and believe it straight away and say that's exactly what happened.

But you said the almost every country in the world were FIGHTINGin WW2. That's a big difference from just being "effected".
