The Schlieffen Plan was actually a German military strategy, not a French one, devised by General Alfred von Schlieffen in the early 20th century. Its primary objective was to quickly defeat France by invading through Belgium, thereby avoiding a prolonged two-front war with France and Russia. The plan was implemented at the outset of World War I in 1914 but ultimately failed, leading to a stalemate and trench warfare.
