The German Army's plan to win the war was the Schiefflen Plan. The plan was to hold off Russia in the east and attack France through Belgium with the bulk of the forces. Within a few weeks of the commencement of the war several million men faced off against each other on the Western Front. The German Army got within sight of Paris only to be repelled at the Battle of the Marne. The German command realizing that plan was not working retreated to higher ground along the Aisne river. Then began what is often referred to as the "Race to the Sea", but was really an attempt by the armies to outflank each other. The armies continued this process until there was no flank only the North Sea. As a result the battle front became static from the North Sea to the Swiss Alps. Both sides, but particularly the Germans, then began to "dig in" creating defensive postions which became more elaborate as the war went on.
