Best Answer

At the beginning of the war it was all volunteers. The young men were encouraged by Propaganda. Everyone thought the war would be over by the Christmas and they got good pay too. White feathers were nailed on the doors of people who would not go to war's houses. Most men in the village would go, so peer pressure convinced a lot of men. However, Britain was losing a lot of men later on so then they made everyone go to war.

People wanted to gain power through war. They felt that by contributing to the war, they will win and receive some sort of a benefit.
