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?

Nearly the whole world beside maybe most of South America was a either a party to the war or a colony of a power part of the war. [This shows it pretty well.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f4/WWI.png)
