The only country from where I don't have reports supporting an anti war sentiment is Japan. The first war was still fresh in the minds of everyone, and while Americans didn't suffer nearly as many losses as the continental powers, they certainly saw the results.
You don't get an anti-war vibe from Japan because the Imperial Rule Assistance Association wouldn't allow it and they had the backing of the Army. The 26 February Incident proved that violence was the law of the land in Japan.
