I’ve been thinking about it and as far as I know WW1 was essentially just a war between European great powers and their overseas colonies, where almost all of the war was in Europe and in a smaller amount in the middle east. Some independent countries in other continents declared war on the central powers but most didn’t really do anything else. Why is it considered a world war?

It was originally known as “The Great War”.
It got labeled in the history books after WW2 since it involved many of the same nations and it was a significant war.
