Hello!
In my country, Uruguay (between Argentine and Brazil),
teachers used to teach us History saying "The Great War" (La Gran
Guerra) to talk about World War I, and "The World War" (La Guerra
Mundial) to talk about World War II. So, to me, to say "The War"
means nothing. I had the bad luck to been born in an age full of
wars :-S
