In short, Marxists viewed World War I as wealthy emperors, kings, and capitalists squabbling over colonies and materials. Basically, poor and middle-class people were being forced to fight and die so rich people could get richer. Marxists not only opposed this, but also wanted to rid of the emperors, kings, and capitalists.

Why did the advent of World War 1 cause confusion among Russian Marxists?

World War 1 put trial to the ideas of the Russian Bolsheviks. According to their view of Marxism, as history progressed, the socialistic movements in the world would surely bring on workers' revolts and some form of Marxism. Of course when one is in the "present" what the future holds is anyone's guess. With that said World War 1 caused the collapse of western socialism, and the politics of nationalism took hold. Marx had not taken such a thing into consideration. For the Russian Marxists, they had to search for the theoretical problem presents by this long and devastating war. Clearly in 1915, as an example, when this war would end and what the results would be were impossible for anyone to predict.
