Answer

Kitchener predicted the war to last for three years, accurately foreseeing its protracted nature. His estimation proved remarkably close to the actual duration of the conflict, which spanned four years from 1914 to 1918. Kitchener's foresight was based on his military experience and understanding of the complexities of modern warfare, including the industrial scale of the conflict and the resources required to sustain it.
