There was not enough weapons for each men to fight with so most men were defenseless.
They were assigned to non-combat roles.
the war began in 1914 and ended in 1918. Men and boys were enlisting (signing up voluteerily.) and a little later on they were forced to sign up. So, your question "what yeardid people have to fight in WW1?" is incorrect. But, that doesn't really matter as you were the one asking the question, therefore not knowing. Hehe... It wasn't the year that men and boys ahd to fight, it was the traumatic, long 4 years that they all had to endure the fighting of world war one.Thank you, lol xxx
