Answer:' Great War' was the most commonly used name for the First World War at the time, although 'European War' was also sometimes used. As the first pan-European War since Napoleon, 'Great' simply indicated the enormous scale of the conflict, much as we might today talk of a 'great storm' or a 'great flood'.
