so why is the Crimean war not considered the first World War?
So why is the Crimean war not considered the first World War?
Small scope
Because that's retarded, if anything is going to be considered the the "real" First World War it would be the 7 Years War
>crimea is the world
?
No Germany, no World War
What makes it global? They only fought in the Crimea, Black Sea and Baltic
>Britain, France ,Ottoman Empire, Sardinia and Russia.
That was a lot of the relevant world at the time.
Probably even earlier than that, when James II was overthrown in the Perfidious Albonian, it caused violent conflict in the New World and elsewhere.
>Britain, France ,Ottoman Empire, Sardinia and Russia.
>relevant
faggot
>Sardinia
>relevant
They sent like 20,000 guys, it was just to suck Frances dick a bit
many wars involved major countries, doesn't make it a world war
Sardinia is the only one that isn't very relevant. Can you really say that Britain, France, Ottoman Empire, and Russia were not very relevant in the 19th century?
I'm not the same guy, but I'd say the Ottomans were fast losing their relevancy
Ww1 was over Serbia and AH, respectively irrelevant and losing their relevancy.
Because it wasn't the Seven Years War
it took months to reach Sardinia, even in the 19th century
Sardinia was strategically important because it would take any of its enemies years to get there.
russian expansionist war into crumbling ottoman empire hardly constitutes a global or world war hahhh
Because there is no reason, wars involving several major nations were common, might as well call the first crusade a world war
Because WW1 had Africa involved
because it didnt involve the WORLD you brainlet
>pic relate is you
Aren't you glad you asked?
>thinking you can travel the vast distances to Sardinia in mere months
It only takes years if you travel from Siciliy because you need to go through the Bermuda Triangle
