What were the goals for the schlieffen plan?
The goals of the schlieffen plan was to surround Paris and force France into a quick surrender. The schlieffen plan was to move quickly through Belgium, which failed, as German troops were held in Belgium for 6 weeks. The quick surrender of France would have allowed Gremany to turn its attention to Tsarist Russia. Due to the failure of the schlieffen plan, Germany was forced to fight World War One on two fronts and Germany's attempt to swiftly move through Belgium also forced Britain to join the war effort against Germany.
What was the impact of the Schlieffen Plan?
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. .

What was the main reason of the Schlieffen Plan?
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.
What was the name of the war plan Germany had developed in 1905?
The Schlieffen Plan, named after Alfred von Schlieffen, the general who created it. Understanding that a war (World War I) would probably happen soon and that it would involve Germany fighting against France and Russia at the same time, it was designed to attack France and defeat her quickly. The Russian army was very large but slow to mobilize, so it gave Germany time to fight France first.

What was the German strategy of war outlined in the Schlieffen Plan?
In December 1905, while the ship makers in Portsmouth were hard on work on the HMS Dreadnought, an ageing German general was putting the finishing touches to a plan of war. His name was Count Alfred Von Schlieffen, the most senior general in the German army.Schlieffen was not at that moment intending to go to war. He was simply working out how Germany could fight her enemies if ever it became necessary.As you know, Germany's main enemies were France and Russia, and this is what made Schlieffen's task difficult. If Germany fought France, Russia would attack Germany from the east. To protect the country, Schlieffen would then have to split his army into two and fight the war on two fronts - east and west. No general wants to do this because he can only use half an army to fight each enemy.The plan that Schlieffen made in 1905 aimed to avoid a war on two fronts. He said that although the Russian armies were big, the roads and railways in Russia were so bad that the Russians would take six weeks to get into position for fighting Germany. So if war began,, the whole German army should invade France by travelling at high speed through Belgium and northern France to capture Paris. Having defeated France withing six weeks, the German army would them be sent to the other side of Europe to fight the Russians who would still be getting ready.It was a simple plan but unfortunately it really made a war on two fronts even more likely. Schlieffen took it for granted that if Russia attacked Germany, France would also attack. But suppose that France decided not to help Russia, and to keep out of the war, the Plan meant that Germany would attack France anyway. Schlieefen had made sure that any war fought by Germany would be a big one.

Was war between japan and the US inevitable?
yes. If Japan did not attack pearl harbor it still would be. Remember The Japanese were still in china. Plus after getting the required resources they had then they would have invaded the Russians and Russians would have two fronts to deal with (the Germans and the Japanese). Now, it turns out roosevelt liked Stalin so he would use that as an excuse to go to war against the Japanese. But i would think it would be difficult anyways because the island hopping campaign would of still happen to even get to the Russians. But this would mean that possibly but unlikely the Germans would have have taken more of russia than they origanally did until the Russians fought back. So yes the the war was inevitable. its was like trying to hide meat from a dog.

He was a pretty successful leader until he lost to the Russians! He would have dominated the world if the Russians didn't stop his early. Thank Russia for that
