Why was the world war called a ''modern war''?
It was 'modern' in the sense that this was the first war where large standing armies were made up largely from "civilians in uniform" instead of from professional soldiers. And of course this was the first war where modern arms (the machine gun prominent among them) meant the end of centuries-old forms of army movements and tactics and of the once formidable assault force of the cavalry. A third reason was that this was the first war in which modern inventions like telephone, air forces and tanks played a role.
