I would like to put forward the idea that World War I was not really a world war, and the title of First World War is better attributed to the Seven Years' War. The Seven Years' War occurred on multiple continents, in multiple theaters of war, and involved most of the major powers of the era. World War I was almost entirely limited to Europe and the Mediterranean.

Maybe fair to leave out relatively minor ground battles in the far East but there were actions, as well as maritime interdiction.

You also leave out the African theatre.

The 7 years war was a relatively 'soft' war.

The 30 yrs war would be the 'first world war'. It was much more ferocious and it also saw action around the globe.
