The Schleiffen Plan was an attempt by the German army to avoid war on both fronts (during WWI) by attacking France before they became involved. It was created by Alfred von Schleiffen and it required a disregard of the neutrality of Belgium and the Netherlands in order to sweep France quickly. German officials calculated that it would take 29 days for France to fall and immediately after their victory some German troops would mobilize and head back east to assist the troops against the Russians. It didn't really work out very well, the German army miscalculated the strength of the French and the speed of Russian troops and that resulted in years of trench warfare.
