At the outbreak of World War I, the Schlieffen Plan was intended to achieve a stable front in France and Belgium so that troops could then be diverted to attacking Russia. Unexpected delays (Belgian resistance, British troop arrivals) meant that the Western Front was only partly secured by the time the Russians entered Prussia. This forced Germany into an extended two-front war that was logistically difficult to fight.
