    "Great" is an adjective for how far-reaching and devistating the event was, not that the event itself was great to experience.

    It's kinda like having a "civil" war. Say whaaa?

    What made the Great Depression "great" was the New Deal, which protracted the Great Depression by artificially stabilizing wage rates, public spending, etc..

    It was called that because of how widespread and devistating it was.
