Belgium. The Plan was to defeat France extremely fast to avoid fighting on two fronts, as Germany thought Russia would take a long while to mobilize its troops. However the Plan was a complete failure as it required three things to succeed. Britain couldn't join the war, which they did because Germany needed to invade Belgium in order to attack France. Then they needed speed, but the BEF and Belgiun resistance managed to delay German forces. Lastly, Russia were able to mobilize their troops in time and Germany ended up having to fight a war on two fronts, dividing its forces.
