Anyone want to challenge the proposition that World War 1 was the first event to have a global common-knowledge consciousness impact? Ie it didn’t just affect all parts of the world; all parts of the world were aware/conscious of it affecting all parts of the world *at the time*

if we can relax simultaneity into just relatively close time proximity a lot more stuff opens up. Like, the conquests of the Golden Horde under Ghengis Khan were global scale and would have been known about globally within a small number of years.

pre-colonial Australia would have been pretty isolated in general, right? This is a big blind spot in my knowledge of history though. fair point about the Americas, though again, at the time the hemispheres were just really isolated from each other so global wasn't quite the same
