Is World War 2 actually World War 11? Honestly there are easily 9 wars prior to the Great War that could qualify as a world war in scale or breadth.>Peloponnesian War>Macedonic-Persian War>2nd Punic War>1st Roman Civil War>2nd Roman Civil War>Three Kingdoms Era>Imjin War>30 Years War>Napoleonic WarsWhat do you think?
>>18450802No? One could argue that World War 1 was barely even a World War and is only considered one because the US happened to get involved. World War 2 was literally fought on two opposite sides of the Earth, between the Japanese-American war in the Pacific and the Anglo-Russian-American vs German war in Europe that partially spilled over into Africa and the Middle East
>>18450805World War 1 did involve action in Southern Africa and the Pacific, even if objectively lesser in scale than the war in Europe and the Middle East
>>18450805>Peloponnesian WarInvolved multiple nations that controlled most of Turkey and the Mediterranean region>Macedonic-Persian WarWar between two out of three existing civilizations at the time>2nd Punic WarIt wasn't just Rome vs Carthage but Rome and Italian allies vs North Africa and Greek Mercs>1st Roman Civil WarMost of the civilized world>2nd Roman Civil WarMost of the civilized world>Three Kingdoms EraMost of the civilized world in terms of population>Imjin WarSee above. Also Japs are elevens.>30 Years WarAll of Europe>Napoleonic WarsMost of Europe and their coloniesIt seems close minded to limit the title of "world war" to just wars that have fighting on both Europe and Asia at the same time.
>>18450802Was this today or did it happen in 2023?Either way; if she had the basic understanding of US history, she would have got the context clues and known it was World War 2
>>18450802Are you retarded?Your list doesnt even include the only other war besides WW1/2 that has a chance, the 7yr war. Every other war you listed was a local conflict on a global scale.
>>18450817China is most of the civilized world for most of your dumb fucking list you retard. You are gorilla tier retarded.
>>18450802The 30 Years' War could be considered a world war, the coalitions against Napoleon too.
>>18450817So not the entire civilized world was involved in the conflict? Then it isn't a world War dullard
>>18450817>Involved multiple nations that controlled most of natolia and the Mediterranean region.Fixed, you turkish troll; and by the armistice and treaty of Sevres and Moudros, you turkish aren't the legitimate owners of most of natolia
>>18450802No, but I think naming it World War is retarded because it makes seem more important than others simply because of their scale, when that's not necessarily true. And the fact that the Cold War 1 and Cold War 2 (happening right now) aren't counted as World Wars is also retarded.IMO they should be called Great Wars and we should learn about all of them in detail, including how jews are involved in every single one of them.
>>18451069>a local conflict on a global scale.Just like WW1 and WW2.
A great war has to affect a majority of the civilized world, from your list the Napoleonic Wars is the only one which could remotely count. You are clearly a racist who only gives a shit about Europe and east Asia, which is your right I guess but a WORLD war has to include most of THE WORLD, hence the name. I'm also baffled that you didn't include the mongol conquests or the crusades, which I still wouldn't consider counting but are much closer than a lot of your list>Peloponnesian War>Macedonic-Persian War>2nd Punic War>1st Roman Civil War>2nd Roman Civil WarAt this time there was civilization in India, Persia, central asia, east asia, mesoamerica, the andes, and the amazon, none of them other than maybe persia would have given a shit about these events>Three Kingdoms Era>Imjin WarNo one outside of east asia gave much of a shit about this >30 Years Wardude come on>Napoleonic WarsThis one involved a lot of the world due to the main participants having colonies everywhereNone of these are remotely comparable to the world wars, where there was conflict all over the planet, naval battles in every sea, ships being bombed outside their harbors on every continent, people from every corner of the earth volunteering to go and fight or facing significant changes to their economy and culture.
>>18451719sorry, added persia right before posting without rereading my post properly, obvious they'd care about the peloponessian war and macedonic persian war lmao
>>18451719>I'm also baffled that you didn't include the mongol conquests or the crusades,These were a series of small conflicts that aren't contiguous enough to justify treating them as singular wars.>At this time there was civilization in India, Persia, central asia, east asia, mesoamerica, the andes, and the amazon, none of them other than maybe persia would have given a shit about these eventsBy this measure, neither WW1 nor WW2 are world wars because Latinx or Arab countries didn't participate except for token appearances.>>Three Kingdoms Era>>Imjin War>No one outside of east asia gave much of a shit about thisEven so, you are talking about maybe a quarter of the world population involved in these wars.>This one involved a lot of the world due to the main participants having colonies everywhereSame as WW1 and WW2.>where there was conflict all over the planet, naval battles in every seaOnce Russia was out, WW1 was fought mainly on a tiny strip of land in Belgium and France.
>>18451839>By this measure, neither WW1 nor WW2 are world wars because Latinx or Arab countries didn't participate except for token appearances.No, lots of Latin American countries shifted their economies to support the war, and Brazil and Mexico sent troops. And the arab countries were ACTUAL BATTLEZONES YOU HISTORICALLY ILLITERATE IMBECILE>Even so, you are talking about maybe a quarter of the world population involved in these wars.Yes but these were not widespread wars that affected people all over the globe>Same as WW1 and WW2.Yes, that is the point im making>Once Russia was out, WW1 was fought mainly on a tiny strip of land in Belgium and France.You cant just pick and choose parts of the war to include, plus there was still conflict in the colonies and naval actions all over the world, and people all over the planet were contributing troops and resources to that tiny strip of land in belgium and france. It AFFECTED almost everyone
>>18451582No you illiterate. at a global scale you listed only local conflicts. If you entire world is the med then the punic war doesnt feel regional. But at a global scale it absolutely was.
>>18451388they arent and you need meds.
