Then how about "World War II"? Could you tell me which one is right among "World War Two", "Second World War", "the Second World War", and "World War the Second"?

World War Two and the Second World War are commonly used. The others are not used as names, although you might come across Second World War used in sentences like "Second World War tanks could not shoot accurately while moving", in which Second World War is an adjectival phrase describing the tanks.
