The 1st World War, which it most certainly was.

I've got no problems with First World War, but seriously Seven Years War (like 'Dark Ages') is a time honoured name and I am rather fond of it. After all, the Hundred Years War went a fair bit longer than a century, and I seem to recall that the Thirty Years War wasn't that either… No, I'm happy with the traditional name :)

Leave it as it is.

Here you go, call it

The Seven Years War

We need an option for "Don't rename it at all."
"None of these" implies that you should rename it but you don't like any of the choices.

I was going to suggest "Warrie McWarface", but on second thought Seven Years War is just fine.

MarescialloDiCampo28 Apr 2016 5:42 a.m. PST

I like John's first suggestion, but I have to agree with the conclusion and leave it as it is…
If the editor had only listed "Warrie McWarface" as an option…

Pictors Studio28 Apr 2016 5:55 a.m. PST

I would also have voted for Warrie McWarface, but as that is not an option, I'll go with none of these.

Wouldn't it be at least the Second War of Prussian Aggression anyway?

Yeah, let's change something that people already know so that there will be even more confusion in the world. That's what we need-- Chaos! 8)=

Silly suggestion and poll…

The Beast Rampant28 Apr 2016 7:38 a.m. PST

I'm with Langobard.

And that would be the SECOND War of Prussian Aggression.

Old Contemptibles28 Apr 2016 7:48 a.m. PST

How about calling it:

The Seven Years War

Scorpio28 Apr 2016 7:49 a.m. PST

The Seven-ish Years War

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP29 Apr 2016 6:16 a.m. PST

I would stick with Seven Years War – which in my mind includes North America and India

It technically is the First World War but I can't see this catching on any time soon

Old Contemptibles29 Apr 2016 10:26 a.m. PST

Wow! This is the most one sided poll I have ever seen.

Old Contemptibles29 Apr 2016 10:28 a.m. PST

This poll's middle finger speaks for itself.
