Blitz Krieg!
the battle of the marne
The German plan to quickly defeat France, known as the Schlieffen Plan, failed after the First Battle of the Marne in September 1914. The rapid advance of German forces was halted by the Allied armies, which successfully counterattacked and pushed the Germans back. This led to a prolonged stalemate and trench warfare on the Western Front, fundamentally altering the course of World War I.
Alfred von Schlieffen
The German used a plan called 'Blitzkrieg' which means 'lightning war'
It didn't fail. By 1940 they had France and had taken over Paris.
At the start of World War I, Germany implemented the Schlieffen Plan, which aimed to quickly defeat France by invading through Belgium before turning to fight Russia. The plan relied on rapid movement and decisive victories to avoid a protracted two-front war. However, the execution of the plan faced setbacks, leading to a stalemate on the Western Front. Ultimately, the Schlieffen Plan's failure significantly altered the course of the war.
The economies of Western Euopean recovered quickly after World War 2 in part because of aid from the Marshall Plan.
In 1905, known as the Schlieffen Plan, the German, Von Schlieffen drew up a plan of action that involved attacking France through Belgium if Russia made an attack on Germany.
"The Schlieffen Plan". Named for the general commanding the Imperial German Army when the plan was developed, a generation before WWI.the schlieffen plan
Marshall Plan
No.Nationalism is basically a belief that your country is better than other countries.The Schlieffen Plan was a German war plan from before World War I. It assumed that Germany would wind up fighting a war against France and Russia at the same time. So the German commanders planned to have almost all of their military attack France to try to quickly defeat them at the start of the war, and then fight Russia afterward- they knew that it would take longer for Russia to get their armies ready. When the war actually started, the Germans did not follow the plan correctly and it failed.
In German, blitz means lightning and krieg means war. So the German concept of a blitzkrieg was to invade a certain country quickly, with overwhelming force, before a defense could be mounted.
