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.

The German leaders prevented a collapse and damage to Germany itself by ending the war quickly. Unfortunately the German leaders never explained this information to the German people, which lead to the post-war myth spread by Adolf Hitler & others that Germany was not defeated but betrayed.
