1492 was actually first world war because 5 European armies present First the Spanish Conquistadors were

an army in south America and the area of California and Colorado in north America . In north America there were the french in Louisiana. The English in the area which would become Canada and in the areas of what would become the united states like Washington, Texas, Nebraska, wyoming, Kansas , Nevada and others . In south America in Brazil were also the Portugese and Spanish who made the decision to divide south America. The Portugese got Brazil and the Spanish Argentina and panama and other nations . Anyway there were a number of European armies in the Americas as well as Africa and the south pacific and in china . The Europeans the portugese arrived in japan in 1500's and after Magellan in 1500's more fighting took place . The war called the first lasted for a few years 1914-1918. but it could be said that the presence of European armies SUCH AS THE FRENCH INDIAN WAR between french and English and Mohawks was a match for war involving all European ARMIES AND THE U.S.A. North America and south America fought a war against Europeans plus the rest of the planet DURING COLONIALISM for a few hundred years or so culminating in 19th century massacre at wounded knee by U.S. Army of the Sioux. the end of the first world war was actually 1847 or 1857. There is a racist view that because the indigenous lost the war to Europeans or because Europeans enslaved Africans DURING COLONIALISM that some how that did not count as a world war that only the two involving Europeans was a world war but the colonialist era was a world war. The mistaken belief and fear of world war 3 is evident in free computer games with the premise of world war 3 when colonialism by British and other Europeans in Africa and north and south America should count world war
and the early 20th century 1914-18 one ww2 and the 1930's-45 one ww3
