What term is most often used with reference to World War II — specifically to the uneventful early months, in which no substantial military gains were made by either side?
Answer Phoney War
A phoney war is a period of time after the outbreak of hostilities in which no outright military gains are made by either side. This can happen as a result of either one or both sides waiting for an opportunity to strike. The term is most often used with reference to World War II and refers specifically to the relatively uneventful early months, compared with later years when the global conflict escalated dramatically.
