If we handwave away American involvement and the military action of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, leaving the conflict to solely play out amongst the European powers, would historians ITTL still call the war a world war? Although there would still be fighting in the colonial territories and units drawn from Britain's dominions and France's colonies, would it be enough to qualify the conflict as a truly global conflict? The precedence set by quasi-global conflicts like the Seven Year War would suggest otherwise in terms of naming, but I was interested in what others thought.
