Thanks for the information. I wonder if a “World War” status needs to include fighting on different fronts as well, rather than just being aligned with others?

“Of course, hopefully your kids are home-schooled, otherwise government teachers may not smile so kindly at their precociousness. ;-)”

No, but my wife and I are very involved in their academics. (Grade school saw mom at the school at least an hour a day helping all the kids with reading and math, and breaking the school district policy on math as she was using “flash cards” to teach them the basic math facts).

My one daughter had to read a book over the summer, and just finished her “compare and contrast” report of a book on the Holocaust with our government under Obama. She found Palin and Ayn Rand quotes all on her own!

“So dad - do you think the teacher will figure out that I’m a conservative?”

The Seven Years War was fought on six continents — Europe, North America, South America, Africa, West Asia (India) and East Asia (Philiplines).
That’s why it’s called the First World-wide war.
Yes, I mentioned Britain and Germany allied against France, but there were many other powers involved, which are listed in the link I included.

Now, for a test bonus question, who do you think started the First World-wide War — yes, it was inadvertant?
