He could have called it the First World War without a problem as that term was in use from 1914 onward. It didn't imply there would be a second in the same way that Neil Armstrong was "first man on the moon" even if he was the only one that ever went there. "World War One" however seems to have only come in from June 1939 though so the Doctor was on shaky ground with that -

Can confirm this. As a German we learned plenty about both world wars, and it was always pointed out to us just how many people died on all sides. We even had charts that depict the amount of people living in Germany by age. Naturally there are two VERY big dents in there, and they are also much deeper on the male side. Those are, of course, from all the men dying on the frontlines due to the insanity of the Emperor and later Hitler.

The fact that there is even one more like it after would BREAK HIM. There's no optimism in his point of view. No thought of how long might be between them, only horror at the simple fact there will be MORE THAN ONE OF THE HELLISH PERIOD HE IS EXPERIENCING, another period of death and horror so awful one might think the world is ending... again. Knowing that you make it through that one isn't gonna soften the blow of knowing another one is coming, and possibly another and another... THAT is where his head is going to be at.

It's one of the absurdities of time travel. Assuming history is malleable, that means that simply by travelling to the past you create an alternative timeline. Possibly more than one. There is the timeline where you never arrived, but left; the timeline where you arrived, in which you may or may not be born, let alone leave; and if you do, the timeline where alt you leaves; and the accompanying where you arrive slightly differently; and so on. And of course the possibility of any number of futures where you try to stop yourself. Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff. Alternatively, history is fixed, which creates the paradoxon that if you arrive to fix something, you remove the cause for leaving in the first place.

To be fair, for the soldiers fighting on the Western Front, at least, World War II was much less horrifying, and WWI actually *was* the worst it would get. The conflict was less grinding, miserable, and pointless, and much more decisive. If I was forced to pick whether to fight in France in WWI or WWII, I'd pick the latter in a heartbeat. Of course, living as a civilian under the Nazis was presumably worse than life during WWI, and the Holocaust was incomparably worse than anything that went on in WWI. And the Eastern Front during WWII could have been even *worse* than WWI. But from the perspective of a Western European soldier... yes, WWI might actually be the worst situation you could ever be in.

An excerpt from A.J.P. Taylor’s English History 1914-1945 reads “In contemporary parlance, the war of 1914-18 was alway, not surprisingly, the Great War. It did not need the war of 1939-1945 to change it into the first World War. Repington devised the phrase at the time of the armistice 'to prevent the millenian folk from forgetting that the history of the world is the history of war'. Repington, The First World War, ii. 291”. Someone from that time would most likely call it “The Great War”, but that does not discount the fact that there were those who regarded it as the First World War, as it was the first conflict that involved either most of the world’s major military powers to an extent hitherto unseen. However, it was not the first war in the modern era regarded by historians as a “world war”. Examples of wars regarded as “world wars” include the Nine Years’ War, the Seven Years’ War, the War of the Spanish Succession, the French Revolutionary and Napoleónic Wars, etc etc Tl;dr: the term “world war” has been applied to many conflicts, the term “First World War” was coined on September 20th, 1914 by Ernst Haeckel, and the term “World War I” was coined by Time magazine on June 12th, 1939, the same issue that coined the term “World War II”, so the idea of the Great War being the “first world war” was already out in the ether by the time that it appeared in Time Magazine

It is a good nod to the fact the the people of this era really did think that this was going to be the war to end all wars it wasn’t just some poster or something the men at the top used to keep them going All of them thought that this would finally be it that nothing else could possibly come after. Some would call it a tragedy me I would call it hubris.

Fun fact: while "World War I" wasn't used until later, the expression "First World War" was actually used (and appears in writing) before there was a second one. Can you guess why? ;-)

Because people considered it the first world war. That's less of a numbering thing and more a lack of precedence for a war of that scale and destructive capabilities.

I mean "First THING" does not necessarily require there to be a second thing. First person to circumnavigate the globe does not necessarily imply that other people have done the same, merely that he is the first. One, however, implies a numbering system.

Well what was he gonna say? Describe the events going forward? Give him a lie that would never work? He couldn't necessarily say nothing, but because he realised the gravity of what he said, he couldn't come up with anything other than "spoilers". He knew that to the soldier it didn't matter that his side won, only that another, possibly worse, war would come. Doctor knows all too well the horrors of war, so to think for him to be on a similar situation, like being told that the Time War was but the first, he'd also be like the soldier.

That wouldn't work. The reason this does is because to this dude, World War 1 is the only World War. If you took a World War 2 officer and mentioned that he's from World War 2 he'd probably assume you were from World War 1 Era or just using his uniform to identify him as from the 2nd World War. You'd have to specifically mention World War 3o to get a similar reaction from a WW3

Naming WW1 the "war to end all wars" at the time, reminds me of one Sapkowski (The Witcher books author) quote: “There was talk about a great victory in this war; it was so important that… That this war put an end to all wars. (...) Son, he said very seriously. ‘Look. There, sitting at the counter is Evangelina Parr. She is admittedly, substantial. Indeed, even great. But despite her actions, not one whore can put an end to all whores.”
