Not what I was referring to. This war was called one thing for nearly 30 years after the war ENDED, and then the name was changed.
Im assuming the name was changed because a "second world war" broke out... I know what youre referring to i was just spurred by your riddle to ask mine.
now who has an answer to my riddle bc id love to know actually. The Holy War? it was basically between the Holy Roman Church and Protestant Church I think
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

Wasn't it closer to 20-25 years later?
Perhaps. I'm not certain when exactly the name change happened.

From Wikipedia:

The term "world war" was first used in September 1914 by German biologist and philosopher Ernst Haeckel, who claimed that "there is no doubt that the course and character of the feared 'European War' ... will become the first world war in the full sense of the word," citing a wire service report in The Indianapolis Star on 20 September 1914.

Prior to World War II, the events of 1914–1918 were generally known as the Great War or simply the World War. In October 1914, the Canadian magazine Maclean's wrote, "Some wars name themselves. This is the Great War." Contemporary Europeans also referred to it as "the war to end war" or "the war to end all wars" due to their perception of its then-unparalleled scale and devastation. After World War II began in 1939, the terms became more standard, with British Empire historians, including Canadians, favouring "The First World War" and Americans "World War I".

No one knows if having it today will be worth anything in a year from now.

No one knows how high the numbers will go.

Both have caused political unrest around the world.

@ExGingi has had and gotten rid of both.

Would like to increase my current position in both.  ;D

Or rather I wish I would have more of both so I could reap more of the benefits.

Is that a lifejacket?
It's a baby riding on his back. But the baby's head is conflated with the adult head, so it only looks like the adult head. But if you look closely, you'll see that most of it is actually the baby's head.
