The British believed war would end quickly but it bogged down into trench warfare
Explanation:
Britain felt that the war would be over by Christmas because the use of trench warfare would exhaust the Central Powers. However, the conflict lasted 4 years due to the fact that the Central Powers also adopted trench warfare which caused WWI to turn into a war of attrition.
