The von Schlieffen Plan
The failed Von Schlieffen Plan.
Germany was on the losing side of World War 1.
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.
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. .
