No, that would be an Oxymoron. Great War except defined in terms of area, scope, or moral standing can be great. (What a great time I had in the War). (Wasn't that a great little War?) (Did you have fun in the War? It was Great.) War is not great when it is up close and personal.

Why was the Great War a great war?

World War I was initially called the Great War because so many nations and empires were involved over such a large territory on many different fronts. It was "great" because it was big, not because anyone thought it was good or wonderful. Once World War 2 got going, it was no longer appropriate to call the first one "Great" and people stopped calling it that.
