General Alfred von Schlieffen developed the Schlieffen Plan in 1905 to ensure that Germany would win a war against an alliance between France and Russia in Europe. A modified version of his plan was unsuccessfully used in World War 1 that started in 1914. Alfred von Schlieffen was a German field marshal who was born in 1833 and died in 1913.
During World War I.
During world world war I
Tanks (armored cars) were used for the first time at the Battle of the Somme during World War 1. More modern tanks were developed just before the end of the war. Anti-aircraft guns, sub-machine guns, and automatic rifles that could be used by one man, were developed during World War 1. The hand grenade was in existence but was quickly developed for use during WW1. Poison gases such as chlorine gas and mustard gas were first used in World War 1 although they had already been developed.
Schlieffen Plan
Early in World War One, it was clear that Germany had developed a sophisticated strategy that was unmatched by the Allies. It was called the Schlieffen Plan, devised by General Alfred Von Schlieffen. The plan exploited Germany's interior lines between France and Russia to first concentrate against France while Austria held the Russians at bay.
The Schlieffen Plan was the strategic plan for victory, in case of the instance where Germany would be fighting a war on two fronts. In order to speed up the process of the Schlieffen Plan and avoid a war on two fronts, Germany declared war on France and invaded Belgium. In defence of Belgium's neutral standing in the War, Britain declared war on Germany and thus the First World War began, therefore, the hastiness of German forces and the Schlieffen plan; had effectively sparked the First World War. .

Schlieffen created the plan that Germany attempted to execute during World War I. That plan happened to possibly have spelled doom for Germany, as it tied down the military who refused to think of a new plan because they thought the plan they had would work.
