Did anyone anywhere in Asia notice the Spanish American war? By that loose standard the Great Game in Afghanistan and the Opium Wars would also qualify. I think WWI was first in a clear way: direct impact/involvement of every major region, not just 2nd order effects.

Yeah China trade did open up as a result, but the war itself did not penetrate directly beyond Philippines. And Africa was entirely unaffected I’d say. Basically looking for when elites around the world might first have been talking about the same world affairs.
