Nomenclature
editAny particular reason for the use of Great War in the title over World War I? It does, after all, redirect. Polymathematics 03:43, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- I like the name Great War. JacquesNguyen (talk) 22:18, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Portugal did participate in WWI, but was neutral in WWII. The WWI was often mentioned in Portugal as "A Grande Guerra" or "The Great War" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.214.120.224 (talk) 01:37, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Anglo-portuguese alliance
edit"Despite having an old alliance with Britain dating back to the Treaty of Windsor in 1386 (the oldest alliance in the world, which is still in force).. " ok i tried to edit this section of the article but it was reverted i think that this so called alliance is of no relevance since britain for instance broke said alliance with an ultimatum to portugal in 1890 before the war because of the so called Pink Map in africa also every country had alliances and broke alliances and so on... i cant understand the relevance of this particular alliance. Even more given the fact that it was broken by england several times. and when it says "which is still in force" is even laughable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.92.65.62 (talk) 21:19, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Transport of troops
editThe entry for 1916 included "Only the first two divisions reach France, since the shipping of American troops drastically reduces the transportation capacity of the Allies."
This made no sense. The USA was not at war until April 1917, and began shipping troops even later. Probably related to 1918. Should have a source. GwydionM (talk) 09:58, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
