The German's Schlieffen Plan failed
The Schlieffen Plan (formulated 1905-1906) was the plan for the German invasion of France and Belgium in World War I. It was launched on August 4, 1914 but failed to succeed in its objective, which was to quickly surround and defeat the armies of the French. After the Battle of the Marne (September 1914), the Germans stalled and were forced to retreat into defensive positions. The plan was named for its chief architect, Field Marshal Alfred von Schlieffen (1833-1913). It was also known as the Schlieffen-Moltke Plan, for Schlieffen's successor Helmuth von Molke, the German general who amended the plan and ordered its enaction. Its failure ended his role as German Chief of Staff (1906-1914).

The Schlieffen Plan was an operational plan used by the Germans to take over France and Belgium and carried out in August 1914. It was devised by and named after German Field Marshal Count Alfred von Schlieffen, who served as Chief of the Imperial German General Staff from 1891 to 1905.
the plan was invented by a count, count Arnold Von Schlieffen
The first version of the Schlieffen Plan was drawn up in 1905.
The Schlieffen Plan was crucial to the Germans due to the fact that there alliance had a lot less men then the triple entente so they needed to take out one of the largest army's in WW1, the french so that they could have any chance of winning the war
The result of the failure of the Schlieffen plan was that the Germans - instead of quickly defeating France - got stuck fighting a 4-year trench war in France which they ultimately lost.And they then had to fight the two-fronts war with the Allies and Russia that the Schlieffen plan was drawn up to avoid.
