英语词汇world war i的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

World War I. No one knew that World War I was only the first world war until 1939, when World War II started, but wise men and cynics began using the term even before World War I was over, the phrase being coined in 1918 before the armistice! World War I had another common name: the war to end all wars. Over 10 million killed and 20 million wounded in The Great War, as it was also called, is a conservative estimate, yet this was less than half of those to be killed in World War II. Be- fore the U.S. entered World War I in 1917 it was called The Great European War.
