Everyone thought the countries in WW1 would go to war with each other. People knew it was going to happen a long time before it did.

This isn't true.

Well I suppose it depends on what countries you pick.

But say Germany and the UK for instance, both governments absolutely were not expecting war with each other and banks, businesses and economics were continuining between the nations right up until the war started

A lot of people lost a huge amount of money and had their lives ruined because they assumed war would never actually happen.

Most politicans poo-pooed the notion.

I mean sure Austria-Hungary and the Balkans was a sure thing but WW1 was the clusterfuck of all clusterfucks in history

The war that achieved nothing, that few wanted, that served no goals caused by a calvcade of stupid nonsense reasons that just snowballed until everyone died in agony.

If anything the fact WW1 occured pre nukes shows how foolish the logic of "No one would do something that stupid" really is. They really really might
