Why did the Schlieffen plan fail?
- The Schlieffen plan was a easy way
of attacking France and Russia
- Germany thought that Belgium wouldn't be hard to fight. But they were wrong
and it took much longer then planned to defeat Belgium
- Germany wanted to capture all the French coastal ports to prevent
the English troops coming to help. But the BEF mobilised quicker then
thought and got over to France before the Germans
- The Schlieffen Plan relied on the Russian troops only
being mobilised in six weeks but they were mobilised in
only ten days. This ment that Germany had to send
some troops away from the western front and to the
northern one
- Because Belgium was much harder to fight then expected it didn't take the
planned six weeks to capture Paris. So all other timings were now incorrect
