I'm not entirely sure...but I don't think we do. I mean the Chest of Cortes ordeal wasn't exactly like a war, it was a search for 882 pieces of Aztec gold and it was really only one side in the whole thing up until CotBP. And very few even believed the Pearl even existed OR that the tales of the cursed crew and Isla de Muerta were true(as Mullroy and Elizabeth both acted like in CotBP). Plus, the Pearl's crew never actually had anyone to oppose them in the 10 years they've been cursed, since they were immortal, up until they actually had a reason to oppose them(Will wanting to save Elizabeth and keep her from harm). Granted, the Quest for the Fountain of Youth isn't necessarily like a war either...but it actually has competing sides against the search(Blackbeard, the British and the Spanish). But that's my two shillings on this plan.
