What is wrong.....?

"I have a book entitled 'A Pictorial History Of The First World War' which was published in 1925."

What is wrong with above statement?

It would not have been called the 1st world war in 1925 - it would have been called the great war - it was only once there was another world war that the 1914-18 war was called the first world war

You got it, tubeway!

Reminds me of the joke where a chap rushes into a room and gasps "The Hundred Years War has just started!"
