I'd say there was a great deal of desire for war among the upper echelons of many different states concenrned in the conflict. Because nobody realized the death and devastation of modern war, it was all the easier to think it would be short and decisive, and thus less objectionable generally. In short, nobody wanted that war, but many wanted a war.

Also this.

Since Churchill wrote so many books, we should know what he thought on this. Anyone know whether he thought WWI was a good thing (for the British Empire)?
