It allowed France and Russia to mobilize their militaries faster than Germany had thought possible.
Great Britain implemented a naval blockade against Germany during World War I, aiming to cut off supplies of food, raw materials, and military equipment. This strategy severely restricted Germany's imports, leading to widespread shortages and economic hardship. The blockade weakened Germany's industrial capacity and morale, contributing significantly to the country's eventual defeat in the war.
The goal of the Allies' incessant bombing of Germany during World War II was to cripple the German war effort by destroying key industrial targets, infrastructure, and transportation networks. This strategy aimed to weaken the German military's ability to fight, disrupt supply lines, and demoralize both the German military and civilian population. Additionally, the bombings sought to hasten the end of the war by forcing Germany to surrender.
Quickly defeating France was a key element of Germany's military strategy before World War I primarily due to the fear of a two-front war. The Schlieffen Plan aimed for a rapid victory over France to avoid prolonged conflict, allowing Germany to then redirect its forces to the east against Russia. This strategy hinged on swift movement and decisive action, as Germany's military planners believed that a quick defeat of France would prevent British intervention and secure Germany's dominance in Europe.
Germany's military strategy in World War I was primarily known as the "Schlieffen Plan." This plan aimed to quickly defeat France by invading through Belgium, then redirecting forces to the Eastern Front against Russia. The strategy relied on rapid movement and decisive victories to avoid a prolonged two-front war. However, the plan ultimately failed, leading to a drawn-out stalemate on the Western Front.

France's military strategy was highly defensive, there was a good six months where France could have attacked Germany, but neither side attacked each other (Germany had their hands full invading Norway, Denmark, Poland, and more smaller European countries). The French military expected that when Germany was to attack, they would do so through through Belgium as Germany had in WWI, so the French military used the Dyle plan, which focused their forces along the Dyle River in Belgium. They armed the Dyle with new anti-tank technologies. This was a miscalculation in two ways, firstly while there were some German forces in Belgium, Germany's strongest forces were to the Low Countries, secondly the anti-tank technology didn't work.

Germany strategy during the first and second world war was strategic bombing, use of chemical weapons and the massacre of civilians capable of fighting against them.

Germany's contributions to human progress are numerous and exceptional. In fields like medicine, science, music, art, automotive, food, technology and more. Germany is Europe's strongest industrial and economic power.

This answer is based on Germany's military strategy in the World War Two. The so-called "Blitzkrieg" was only one of the strategies employed by the German military in WW Two. Only weeks before the invasion of Poland, for example, the military strategy in bringing a quick end to Poland's resistance began when Hitler secured with Stalin, a Non-Aggression Pact. This ensured that Stalin would cooperate with the invasion and as a reward, simply occupy the eastern half of Poland. So here we see military-political strategy at play.Later, Germany would employ "terror" tactics with its V1 and V2 missile strikes at England. Germany's strategy also placed pressure on England's hold on the Middle East by German and Italian troops sweeping eastward in an attempt to dislodge England from Egypt. This strategy was an attempt to spread England's defensives by threatening their position in Africa, while maintaining a threat from France on the isles of Great Britain. Additionally, Germany attempted to use submarine warfare to disrupt Allied shipping in the Atlantic Ocean. And, in 1944, Germany prepared a defensive strategy in France in anticipation of an Allied invasion there. The military operations of Germany and of the Allies were varied and complex. This is a summary of the main strategies used by Germany in that war.
As of October 2023, Germany's military, known as the Bundeswehr, has approximately 180,000 active personnel. Additionally, it has around 30,000 reserve forces. Germany is a member of NATO and has been increasing its defense spending and military capabilities in response to various security challenges. The Bundeswehr is equipped with modern technology and participates in international missions and exercises.
