Why were World War 1 and World War 2 seen as a World Wars, yet the 7 Years War wasn’t seen as one?

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.

It was a global war and it is seen that way. Are you just referring to the fact that it doesn’t have “World War” as a part of its name?
