Question: When ww1 was happing why did people at home think the war was good!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
When WWI started, many people thought it was good because they thought the war would last only a short time and would bring honor and glory to their countries!. Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany even told his troops: "You will be home before the cherry blossoms fall" or something like that!. The same goes true with the UK!. They thought that they were on the right side and their armies were superior and so they would win in 2-3months!. And so they were proud that their boys were going off to destroy the German "Huns"!. No one expected the war to drag on for four years and to kill over 20 million people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
