A major component of the Schlieffen Plan was the strategy to quickly defeat France by invading through Belgium, thereby avoiding a prolonged two-front war with both France and Russia during World War I. The plan anticipated a rapid victory in the west, allowing German forces to then shift east to confront Russia. It relied on the element of surprise and the expectation that France could be defeated within six weeks. However, the plan ultimately failed due to logistical challenges and unexpected resistance from Belgium and France.
