context: Some historians argue the Seven Years’ War was actually the first world war. It spanned five continents, involved most of the great powers, and redrew the global map. Yet we still call it the Seven Years’ War, which sounds more like a confusing board game than a global conflict. This meme pokes fun at that silly naming.
Some historians also argue that the 30 year war was a world war, and that the antic Peloponnesian War can also be classified as a world war although tbh this categorisation is very eurocentric.

Every was happened on the world so every war is a world war
