In 1914, tensions in Europe had been escalating for years due to militarism, alliances, Imperialism, and nationalism. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary on June 28, 1914, acted as a catalyst, leading to a series of diplomatic crises. By late July, it became clear that the situation was deteriorating rapidly, with countries mobilizing their forces and declaring war by early August, signaling that a large-scale conflict was imminent.
In 1914 it was about 7,900,000 by the end of the war it was about 8,200,000

August 1914 to November 1918
This is a very odd question. 1918 was part of the same war that started in 1914. If the war was still going in 1918, that meant no peace was achieved and neither side was able to beat the other side.
By Christmas 1914, but it was not to be.
Much propaganda was used so the war was glorified, therefore, people were eager to sign up. Also they were promised that the war would be over by Christmas 1914.
WW1 lasted more than a month. It started in 1914 and ended 1918.
