WWI occurred as a result of secret alliances. Once the first declaration of war was made, the dominoes began to fall. Germany's Schlaffen Plan called for a rapid envelopment through Holland and Belgium, hoping to catch France off guard before it could fully mobilize its forces. France was still looking for an opportunity to redeem itself after losing the two Franco-Prussian Wars.
