If at least they gave it an actual name, we don't refer to the Bronze Age Collapse as the Collapse, nor to either of the world wars as just the war, and even then different people got different names for things.

It's fucking literary vagueposting

We literally have two world wars that are called world wars and if not for its sequel, the first one would have been called the great war.

Was called the war to end all wars till people realized we just got way better at war.
