Still, you can see why it's highly unlikely that anybody of what you and I would call "the younger generation" would have any more of an idea what I was talking about than you did. And, on a more international note, if somebody just mentions "the war," which war do you think of first? I think that for most people it depends on their age because they'll think of either the first one in their lifetime or the first one they learned about when they were young. I'm a 'Nam vet, but to me, the first war I'll always think of is going to be WW II because its after effects were still big when I was a child. Yes, there was Korea when I was small, but it didn't have any impact on me, especially when compared to WW II.
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
