Are you also considering WWI and WWII as the same war with a long ceasefire?

USA entered the war after Pearl Harbor, and was engaged in fierce, if sporadic warfare with Japan. Granted, I should have said "Germany and/or its allies". Canada and Australia are not an issue - note that I said "for the most part".
And I disagree with him on whether this is a war against "fascism". I can name a large number of regimes that qualify, under a very similar definition.

This is a good question. There are historians who prefer to look at it this way, but I do not have an opinion, not being an expert.

Well, the word fascism tends to be used so broadly that it loses its edge.
