The main reason behind the Schlieffen Plan was to ensure that Germany could not be invaded from both the East (Russia) and West (France) simultaneously. The idea was to defeat France swiftly by cutting through Belgium, swiftly deal with the French and then to return to the eastern front to see off Russia who it was reckoned would take longer to mobilise. It was carried out in 1914 long after Count Schlieffen's 'retirement' and was the main reason Britain joined the war as they had an alliance with neutral Belgium to protect her if her neutrality was ever compromised by invasion.
