I don't know for sure, but I'm almost certain it wasn't until after WW2, or at least well into its waging.
Time magazine was referring to "The World at War" as early as September 1939. Though I'm not sure when even they started referring to "WWII."

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
It was Kathleen 'Bird' York, who is not only a singer, but also a quite good actress. She's probably known best for playing Senator Andrea Wyatt on The West Wing, Toby Ziegler's ex wife.

If I only had a brain...
We haven't even agreed on what the current war is called. "The war in Iraq" doesn't have that catchy ring.

I forget which movie it was, but some historical epic had a scene where a character ran into the room shouting, "The 30 Years War just started!"
