It is well documented in France as well. It was seen as a revenge for 1870. There was quite a bit of enthusiasm. At least initially, before the killing started in earnest and people got stuck in the trenches.

Point taken about the French thirst for revanche; I stand corrected.
Again: Catastropic naïveté.
