The schlieffen plan was designed by German military to?
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).

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.
