Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The von Schlieffen Plan was a military strategy developed by German General Count Alfred von Schlieffen in the early 1900s. It was designed to allow Germany to fight a two-front war against France and Russia, by quickly defeating France in the west and then turning their forces towards Russia in the east. The plan relied heavily on the element of surprise and required a rapid advance through Belgium and the Netherlands. The plan was ultimately unsuccessful, as Germany was unable to quickly defeat France and was forced to fight a two-front war for much of World War I.
