There is no one camouflage pattern. Blending into the environment can have a variety of benefits depending on the situation. Making oneself difficult to observe can be a decided advantage. With both sporting and military applications. As far as printed patterns go I am not aware of any before World War 2. Although I know the shift to drab colors occurred in World War 1. They were not patterns themselves but they were a trend towards a pattern. The whole blend in mindset. Early in that conflict soldiers took to the battlefield in bright colors. Those folks did not last very long. World War 1 was a watershed moment for our species. A lot of things changed. Like the illusion that there was any chivalry on the battlefield. There never really was. But WW1 really hammered the point home in our collective psyche. Stealth and concealment became more prominent then.

@dwarlord3716 you might but you'd be wrong. Because armies at the beginning of World War One definitely had brightly colored uniforms. Colonists using hit and run tactics didn't wear uniforms at all. They were not regular military. They were basically terrorists. Now if you'd said Scottish ghillies I'd have been somewhat impressed. Although even their suits were not a printed pattern.
