The Schlieffen Plan and Germany's Defeat on the Western Front

The planning of Sri Fenn and the plan of the German failure Schleifen on the Western Front could be abandoned for reasons behind Germany's defeat not only due to the loss of the Western Front but also due to the war itself It will be abandoned in the future. Even if it succeeds it is easy to say that Germany will win a quick confrontation. The Srileven plan was actually built based on virtual minefields, but it was not actually carried out. An important part of the plan is that 90% of German troops are marching in Belgium for a three week march.

Germany's failure on the West Front was not due to the failure of the Sriffen project which failed on September 11, 1914, and the war lasted four more years until Germany was defeated on November 11, 1918. Failure of the plan has caused many people to fail. The reasons such as battle of sports are wear of consumption (it is getting old). Long-term and short-term causes of German failure due to Schlieffen program failure. But when the Germans opted to carry out this plan, Mortke was the responsible person. Mortke was not satisfied with Schlieffen's plan, he made some adjustments for himself. Some people wonder whether Moltke's change is good or bad, but despite these changes, many people, especially the Russian and Belgian troops are underestimated and this plan still fails think.

Tuchman discussed the Schlieffen project, developed by Earl Alfred von Schlieffen in 1905, during the war, over a considerable amount of time. This plan assumes that war is done in two ways. The necessity to immediately attack France is considered a more direct and biggest threat. After French 's anticipated failure, Germany may pay attention to Russia. It is weaker but more powerful than we need more time to mobilize. In order to make the Schreifen program feasible, Germany had to attack France through the north including the neutral Belgium. Belgium refused to allow the German army to safely pass through the French border and took drastic measures to force it to invade the German invasion and force Belgium to comply.
