Before the First World War, France planned for a possible German invasion, Austria-Hungary planned for a war against Russia, (and vice-versa), and Britain relied on its navy for both offensive or defensive operations. After Russia and France signed an alliance in 1894, Germany faced a possible future war from both sides. How would Germany fight both in the east and west at the same time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.historylearningsite.co.uk\/world-war-one\/causes-of-world-war-one\/the-schlieffen-plan\/\">Schlieffen Plan<\/a>&nbsp;was first devised in 1905 by the commander of the then German forces, General von Schlieffen. The war plans of other countries can be found on these two links:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldwar1.com\/tlwplans.htm\">World War 1.com<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.firstworldwar.com\/features\/plans.htm\">First World War.com<\/a>. However, the German plan is the most famous. Can you think why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schlieffen Plan \u2013 Key questions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Why did it fail?<\/li><li>Were there alternative plans?<\/li><li>How did this war plan affect Germany\u2019s foreign policy?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/history\/worldwars\/wwone\/launch_ani_western_front.shtml\">The Western Front in 1914<\/a> &#8211; requires flash player<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.firstworldwar.com\/bio\/moltke.htm\">From First World War.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.open.edu\/openlearn\/history-the-arts\/history\/world-history\/the-schlieffen-plan\">From Open University<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Schlieffen Plan - And Why It Failed I THE GREAT WAR Special feat.

The Tsar decided that Russian ambitions in Asia should be halted and he should focus on the west. As a result, the Russian armies were ready for war in under four weeks rather than six.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Von Schlieffen was not in charge when the war began. His successor, von Moltke, altered the plans.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The plan expected Germany to fight Belgium and France in the west. It did not expect to take on Britain too. This involvement slowed down the German advance.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The Belgian Army fought harder than expected. The Schlieffen Plan had expected a quick surrender by France.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the key British historians, <strong>Max Hastings<\/strong>, argues that the Schlieffen Plan was never going to work. He argues that the weapons had improved but not the infrastructure to move them long distances. He also criticised the plan because it did not take into account the size of the armies. The French Army was much larger in 1914 than in 1905 so could afford to take more casualties before surrendering. This would delay the Schlieffen Plan and lead to its failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Can Germany still win after the failure of the Schlieffen Plan?<\/li><li>What does she need to do to defeat the Entente powers?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Trench Warfare<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/revolutionsarethelocomotivesofhistory.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/fwwtrenchsystem.jpg?w=652&amp;h=498\" alt=\"FWWtrenchsystem\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why Trenches? - WW1 Uncut: Dan Snow - BBC\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XqIhpYlhZKQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-historynet\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.historynet.com\/germanys-lion-defensive.htm\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Practices at War  WWI - Land\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pzhJzzhLgHo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Battle of the Somme<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Battle of the Somme is the most infamous of the First World War for Britain and its former empire.
