Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Schlieffen Plan was a military strategy developed by Germany in 1905. It aimed to avoid a two-front war against France and Russia by carrying out a rapid and overwhelming invasion of France through Belgium before turning east to attack Russia. The plan called for a strong right flank that would envelop the French army and push them towards Paris, while a smaller left flank would hold off the French and their potential British allies. The plan ultimately failed, as the German invasion of Belgium brought Britain into the war and the French were able to defend themselves effectively, leading to the stalemate of trench warfare.
