The Schlieffen Plan was the German stratgey at the beginning of World War I. It called for an invasion of France first and to wipe them out quickly before Russia could mobilize, avoiding a two-front war. However, France held out and Russia was faster than expected. Thus, the Schlieffen Plan failed miserably. It was not working in 1917, even though Russia withdrew from the war because it did not give Germany a short war or a single front war. And besides, France was suppposed to be defeated first.

∙ 17y agoThe plan was designed to avoid a prolonged war on two fronts by knocking out France in six weeks. The plan failed and ceased to have any relevance to WW1 after September 1914. Joncey
