the schlieffen plan
- what
- The schlieffen plan, battle plan first formulated by Alfred, Graf von Schlieffen, head of the
German general staff, in 1905, which was designed to enable Germany to fight an effective
two-front war. The plan was heavily modified before and during it execution in World War 1 by
Schlieffen’s replacement, Helmuth von Moltke. The changes made by Moltke, which included a
reduction in the size of the invading army, were blamed for Germany’s failure to win a quick
victory. Schlieffen's plan predicted that Russia should take at least six weeks to organize its
forces to invade Germany from the West, having recently lost the Russo-Japanese War. Through
marching west through the neutral territory of the Netherlands and Belgium, Germany would
then launch an assault on France. When France was vanquished, Germany could use its train
network to move its soldiers east to send them against the Russian troops, who Schlieffen
claimed it would take six weeks to organize to invade Germany's eastern frontie

- when
- The Schlieffen plan was conceived in december 1905 by General Count Alfred von
Schlieffen. The Schlieffen plan was the tactical strategy for a planned assault on
France after Russia had began mobilizing its forces along the German border in
reaction to international uncertainty. On 4 August, the implementation of the
Schlieffen Plan prompted Britain to declare war on Germany. Count Schlieffen
officially drew up the operation between the year of 1897 and 1905, after an alliance
between Russia and France was established in 1891 which meant that Germany
could face a two-front war.

- why
- The Schlieffen plan was created by
Schlieffen count, which would give Germany
time to move troops who had served to
Russia in the successful French campaign to
take on the Russians. This plan was also
made because this makes Germany expand
and go through Belgium as a walkway to
France. Through triggering a “decisive
battle”, Schlieffen wanted to emulate
Hannibal using a massive army in a single
act to deliver a rapid and definitive win. He
first planned to kill France first, with Russia
holding off until the French were
annihilated. The plan called for four army
groups to mobilize on the extreme right of
Germany, called the Battalion Carre. The
northmost army will consist of 5 divisions of
cavalry, 17 corps of infantry, 6 Ersatz Korps,
and several brigades of the Landwehr and
Landstrum.

- where
- The Schlieffen plan was created as a strategy from Germany and it took place in France as France had
created an alliance between Russia which meant that by attacking them they would a two-front war
as Germany thought that Russia and France were weak. The Schlieffen Plan was revised as war rose
in Europe. However the basic mechanics of it remained the same.

- how
- On August the 2nd 1914 the ambassador
of Germany to Belgium to demand that
the forces of Kaiser Wilhelm the 2nd will
be allowed a safe passage through
Belgium on the way to attack France. But
they were not ready to violate their
nations proud independence and that
was guaranteed by the Treaty of London
of 1839, which was King Albert the first of
Belgium which replied the next day to the
Kaiser “I rule a nation not a road”. The
next day after obtaining a letter from
Belgium, Germany occupied Belgium and
made for the first big target city of Liège.
Therefore, the Schlieffen Plan's opening
step was in effect: the strategic use of
deception and ambush to fight and win a
major conventional war against the other
major European forces.

- plans
- what went wrong
- The main reasoning for the failure of the
Schlieffen plan was because it wasn’t realistic. It
requires an impossible and specific unfolding of
events, it also had many misleading assumptions
that had no factual evidence behind it. It also had
a bunch of weakness, that is due to Von Moltke’s
modifications which doomed it to failure. The
Russians would reach the border faster than were
expected and that would lead Moltke to send
more troops to the Russian front. He also
bargained with Belgium to not give them much
resistance, but the Germans were held up by a lot
of Belgians. The British air force came as well and
aided Belgium and France sooner than expected,
this resulted in the Germans retreat. The
communication between the forces were poor as
well, making this army hard to control. They were
very close to succeeding with the plan. But it was
proven that the Battle of the Marne was the
reason why this plan was destined to fail.

- the new plan
- The Schlieffen plan failed because when Russia attacked Germany, the forces in France who were
already tired had to come over to Russia and then lost to overwhelming power. Because of this, we
have created that might be a better solution. This is the new plan:

- what went wrong
- who
- The Schlieffen plan was made by a general Count Alfread in December 1905. He served as the Germans staff from
1891 to 1905. The Schlieffen was used in August 1914 in the attack on France that would later trigger world war
one. As regards Russia and France, Schlieffen was greatly disturbed by the geographical position of Germany. In
fact, he expected a coordinated assault by both countries in Germany, as he was certain that Germany would not
have been able to cope with a two-front conflict. The fact that Europe was effectively divided into two camps
convinced him that Russia and France needed to be seen as serious and potential enemies. There was also another
person who contributed to the Schlieffen Plan, which was Helmuth von Moltke. He was the chief of the German
General Staff at the near start of World War 1. His modification attack plan in the west and the inability to retain
control of the advancing armies is significantly contributed to the hat of the German Offensive on the Marne
