Apart from Alexander the Great, I can't think of any other "world" wars,
that is, involving three or more continents. Please list.

Well, the Napoleonic Wars certainly qualify, with major engagements fought
in North America, Europe, and Africa, and minor ones in South America and
Asia as well.  The Seven Years War (known in the US as the French and Indian
War) does as well - in fact, in my long-ago history classes it was often
referred to as the real first world war.  Offhand I can't think of any
others at the moment - well, unless you count the American Revolution, which
ended up triggering a conflict between Britain and France that also included
Europe and Asia as well, I believe.
