Best Answer

There is a good case to be made that the Seven Years War (called the French and Indian War) was the first World War. Certainly there was fighting at places scattered all around the globe - in Europe, in Canada, the Caribbean, even the Solomon Islands of the South Pacific, where US Marines and Army troops would fight again in 1942-43. Where I live, in western North Carolina, there were two battles, in 1760 and 1761, in this global conflict. But this eighteenth century war really involved only the European powers and their colonies, with the colonies being scattered all over the planet. So, there was fighting in all quarters, but there were nowhere near as many nations at war as there were in the great wars of the twentieth century.
