Not to be the proverbial fly in the soup, but as I explained to my US History and Modern European classes just lately, the six wars of the Second Hundred Years War (1689-1815) grew in fact to world wars. Try this list on for size and argument.
War of the Grand Alliance
War of the Spanish Succesion
War of the Austrian Succession
Seven Years War (started in western Pennsylvania by George Washington)
American War for Independence (it was not a revolution)
Napoleonic Wars
You lot north of the border ought to see my logic in this.
Love the "Strewth" bit.
