In August 1914 many people thought the war would be over by Christmas Instead it dragged on for years and spread to nearly every part of the world. Historian Rupert Matthews charts the first course of the war, explaining why the conflict lasted so much longer than predicted and the reasons for its spread from the fields of Europe to the jungles of Africa, the forests of South America and the islands of the Pacific.
