I’ve always wondered this. The 7 Years war was fought on multiple continents and decided the world as we know it, just like both World Wars. I just don’t get why it wasn’t seen as a world war and I came here to ask why.
In: Other
There were “only” less than 1 million casualties in the 7 years war and although there was fighting on multiple continents the actually fighting forces were almost entirely europian.
In WW1 there were just south of 20 million casualties and it was fought by every advanced nation of the planet, however mostly in europe so there might be an argument here.
WW2 however is a different beast entirely, nearly 75 million confirmed dead, every single continent on earth saw fighting, 75% of counties were directly involved, the rest were indirectly involved. Nukes.
Just as an extra point, given that growth…. We DO NOT want a third…..
