Did the first true world war begin in the Pennsylvania backcountry?

"Walking alone through the woods at Jumonville Glen, the noises of the forest actually seemed to fade. The solemnity of this secluded spot in the forest seemed to signify that something momentous had happened here. And it was true: the skirmish that took place under this leafy canopy—at the order of a young George Washington—would eventually set off a world war."
