The Reasons for the Schlieffen Plan

Reason for the Schleifen Project In this course, we will investigate the actual reasons of the Schleifen project under the situation of the German government. I will talk about the harsh reality of war and the circumstances of all the countries involved in the war. It also explains why the Schleifen project failed and the Germans faced an unexpected harsh reality. At the beginning of the 19th century, Germany believed that the war with Russia was likely very likely.

The Schleifen project was founded in December 1905 by General Alfred von Sriffen. The Sriffen Project is an action plan for designated attacks in France, and as Russia responds to international tensions it begins mobilizing her troops near the German border. On 4th August 1914, the implementation of the Sriffen project proclaimed a war with the UK in Germany. In the first revolution of March 1917, the emperor was forced to abstain and the former administration was replaced by a temporary government (the March Revolution was a revolution dedicated to Petrograd (now St. Petersburg)) Formed a provisional government of Russia, the military leadership believed that there was no way to suppress the revolution and Nicholas II, the last Russian emperor abstained.

The German military plan is two wars. The Sriffen Project was established in 1905 by Field Marshal Alfred Graaf von Schleifhen and in 1914 by General General General General General Youngner von Malt of Germany in 6 weeks The power of the clumsy Russian who was enacted under the blow. Sriffen completed his plan until his life ended in 1913. From a purely military point of view, this is a genius plan and, if implemented as designed, there is a possibility to achieve that goal. But the planned Achilles heel is its unethical behavior. It completely ignores the rights of neutral Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, and Germany is committed to support these rights. These German generals have little of these rights, but they are directly responsible for British intervention in the war.

The mistake in the strategy and implementation of the Schleifen plan is the main cause of the deadlock in the Western Front. Due to the strong resistance of Belgium, the Sriffen project was unexpectedly hindered and Germans led Brussels for two weeks. Instead of walking around a vast arc, the Germans got closer to Paris from the west, but they were heading to Paris to the east of the city. Because the French government is retreating to Bordeaux, they are 32 kilometers from Paris, but the closer they are, they will be late. This is due to a number of problems, including insufficient supply and equipment. Source C in German general phone Kuhl accused "the new phone system is too weak and has not enough new equipment for failure." Communication is a big problem, telephone lines are continually blocked by artillery, communication between infantry is poor.
