The original Schlieffen Plan of 1905 envisaged German troops invading the Netherlands as well as Belgium. After Schlieffen retired his successor, Moltke Jr., altered the plan. He made the following changes to the plan:
1) he lowered the ratio to 7:2, thus weakening the right flank
2) this made the right flank move slower through belgium
3) the left flank was soo strong it pushed the french armies outside of Lorraine into the interior closer to Paris
4) Moltke was forced to abandon the encirclement of Paris
5) lastly in late august he was forced to send the renforcements to defend Germany from russia
