the "world" war part, of world war one, was much shorter than i thout.
it lasted in the chang [pacific] ocean from august 30, 1914, when brit pals attackd german isles... until october 14 when almost all the german isles were conqured and most of the pacific calmed to pacification. the germans had only two successes: a successful naval shelling of a french colony and later those same warships destroyed two brit warships by chile coast in nov. 1914. soon the german warships allowed calm to return to pacific when these warships went away toward home.
