And yet they whent to war with the public support.

History tells us if the people do not support a devastating war you won't be in power long.

Just look east at the time.

Believe it or not the war was immensely popular in Russia(at least in 1914),So much so that a commentator said that the Tsar is once again master of his people body and soul or something. The Italian government have additional causes to be fear too,The Libyan war of 1912 despite only token Ottoman resistance undo 50 years! of fiscal prudence and badly deplete their manpower and equipment!.In truth the public got little to do with the decision to enter the war anyway it was the King and his foreign minister sidelining the parliament.
