Even *that* is actually incorrect (off by one). The "real" First World War occurred approximately 100 years before the acknowledged First World War did. The first "world war" in man's history was the Napoleonic Wars (1805-1815), as campaigns were actually fought globally, and societies were totally reshaped in both the fightuing itself, and the aftermath, around the globe...

What a shame then, that we will never have a parade for all the "WWIII" vets who served in that "cold" conflict.

Of course we ain't asking for one either.
