ww1 was the most important war in history I agree, it started the end of Imperialism, and the decline of Europe, thusly facilitating the rise of Russia and America |

What about the Alexander conquests? Because of what happened, most of the world's civilizations became hellenizied with Greek culture (and theorically paving the way for a future Roman Empire coming in and roflstomp everyone else).
Or what about the Thirty Years War? It was the beginning of the Vienna Congress which later determined the direction war resolutions would happen throughout the entire Napoleonic era and had a lingering effect on things warming up before WWI in terms of how the European powers were trying to balance things in the web of alliances.
Those two would have roughly the same massive amount of change around the world for the years and years to come, just much as WWI did.

And it directly caused WW2. I think "World War 1" should be more like 'World War 3' because the Seven Year War and Napoleonic War's all could/should be considered a world war.

No those were European wars. You clearly dont know anything about the effects these wars had in other regions of the world and the battles in the other regions. In the Seven Years War: Europe: Fighting in Prussia, Berlin even taken, as well as in Silesia and other regions of the HRE, Portugal, Italy and off the coasts of Europe. North America:Lots of fighting in modern day Canada, specifically Quebec, and in the western territories. Lots of fighting in the Caribbean in the form of naval fighting. South America: I must admit that I dont know of much fighting in the continent, but i am absolutely sure there had to be some fighting between Portuguese and Spanish colonies as well as naval fighting. Africa: Lots of naval fighting and capture of African ports. India: Fighting between French and British India as well as between different Indian kingdoms. In the Napoleonic Wars: Europe: Fighting...basically everywhere. Africa: Egypt, South Africa, West Africa. North America: Caribbean naval fighting, specifically in Haiti, Quasi War Asia: Sri Lanka, Indonesia South America: Fighting in French Guyana. |

I know very much about these wars, but they are classified as European Wars as they didn't involve whole world, just Europeans and their colonies. |

I know very much about these wars, but they are classified as European Wars as they didn't involve whole world, just Europeans and their colonies. Since when does a World War require the war to be fought by countries which weren't just in Europe? The Second World War was initially just European countries until December 8th, 1941. They encompassed virtually the entire world. And it wasnt just European powers in the Seven Years War, Indian kingdoms also fought, as with multiple Native American tribes. |

I think that this isn't much known but tipu sultan (Google him, he was a symbol of fear for the British in India) even requested Napoleon to dispatch some reinforcements to India, Napoleon (at the point of his rise) agreed but was never able to reinforce his Indian ally against the British. So yes, these wars have had a great impact on nearly the whole world |

The point where those wars were labeled as European wars or world wars had been brought up in considerable debate among the historians. Plenty of books has been written about it for the last 35 years or so. There is some merit to both sides.

There are hundreds of books about this classification, but they are still considered European wars. World wars were classified of one thing total war world wide. |

Well these wars were definitely fought world wide, and what is considered to be Total War in this context? Obviously, i know what Total War's definition is, but the governments of these countries int he Seven Years War and the Napoleonic Wars definitely did everything to ensure that they would win the war, especially in the Napoleonic Wars. |
