In England and the Commonwealth the most common term was "The Great War" as seen on war memorials. In America, the most popular term was "The World War" from popular fiction of the early 20th Century. As both terms had been loosely used before--Great War for the Napoleonic Wars and World War for various fictional scenarios, most people called it "The War".
If one defines a World War as fighting on several continents by several powers, then The Seven years War (French and Indian War in the US), The American Revolutionary war that sparked wars in India, Africa and Europe between Britain and several European countries and especially the last of the Napoleonic wars should count as World Wars.
