Best Answer

The goals of the schlieffen plan was to surround Paris and force France into a quick surrender. The schlieffen plan was to move quickly through Belgium, which failed, as German troops were held in Belgium for 6 weeks.

The quick surrender of France would have allowed Gremany to turn its attention to Tsarist Russia.

Due to the failure of the schlieffen plan, Germany was forced to fight World War One on two fronts and Germany's attempt to swiftly move through Belgium also forced Britain to join the war effort against Germany.
