No. This was called World War 2 because it was the second war that was held on such a large scale that it encompassed all the great forces of the entire world, from Europe to America to Asia and Australia. Before it was World War 1, which wasn't numbered since nobody expected world war 2 to happen, so it was called the Great War.
