The failed Von Schlieffen Plan.
German General Von Schlieffen was relying on a huge turning maneuver against France. He would use five armies totaling over one million troops.
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).
