Germany's plan for a quick victory during World War I was encapsulated in the Schlieffen Plan, which aimed to avoid a prolonged two-front war against France and Russia. The strategy involved a rapid invasion of France through Belgium, capturing Paris within six weeks, before turning to face Russia. The assumption was that a swift victory over France would prevent significant Russian mobilization and secure German dominance in Europe. However, the plan ultimately failed due to logistical issues and strong resistance from Allied forces.
The Schlieffen Plan was a battle plan by Germany to secure victory in the event of a war with France and Russia. It was drawn up by Count von Schlieffen in 1905 when he was the German Chief of Staff.
Germany's plan in World War I was called the Schlieffen Plan. It aimed for a quick victory by invading France through Belgium, then turning to fight Russia, thereby avoiding a prolonged two-front war. The plan relied on rapid movement and overwhelming force but ultimately failed due to logistical issues and unexpected resistance. This contributed significantly to the war's protraction and the eventual stalemate on the Western Front.
Germany was surrounded by Russia and France so they acted on a very ambitious plan on taking out France first and then move there forces towards Russia although the things went wrong as the Russian army proved to be very quick and reached in the France for war
The confederate government had it's own strategy for victory.
The Schlieffen Plan aimed for a quick victory for Germany by invading France through Belgium before turning to fight Russia. However, the Triple Entente, comprising France, Russia, and the United Kingdom, coordinated their responses effectively. Russia mobilized faster than anticipated, forcing Germany to divert troops to the Eastern Front, while British intervention in Belgium galvanized opposition and delayed the German advance into France. This ultimately contributed to the failure of the Schlieffen Plan and prolonged World War I.
It called for a quick victory over France.

In 1914, Germany's quick victory in World War I was thwarted largely due to the failure of the Schlieffen Plan, which aimed for a swift defeat of France before turning to Russia. The German advance was slowed by strong resistance from Belgian and French forces, particularly during the First Battle of the Marne, where Allied troops halted the German offensive. Additionally, logistical issues and the unexpected speed of Russian mobilization contributed to Germany's inability to secure a rapid victory. This stalemate ultimately led to a protracted and grueling conflict.

Do you mean the Schlieffen plan? If so, it was a German battle strategy which required German troops to crush the Western Allies (France, Belgium), and then turn their full effort on battling Russia in the East. Unfortunately for Germany the war bogged down on the Western Front, and hopes for a quick victory evaporated.

The confederate government had it's own strategy for victory.
Germany wanted to cut through Belgium to reach France's unprotected northern border before the French armies could mobilize. If they could capture France they would then turn their focus to the Eastern Front (Russia), they thought the war would be a quick victory. The plan failed because the Belgians fought back, giving France enough time to mobilize and protect its borders.
Yes. They had quick and easy victories over these three countries, plus Luxembourg in May-June 1940.
