Was the blitz in World War 1 or 2?
World War 2, blitz is short for "blitzkreig"
Why is it World War 1 instead of World War 1?
It is now correct to use WW 1 not WWI because of the confusion with the Roman Numeral I. Many young people have not learned the Roman Numeral System and the computer does not recognize it either.

Times and technology changes.
