Germany feared encirclement primarily due to its geographic position and historical conflicts, particularly during World War I. The potential for a two-front war, with enemies to the east (like Russia) and west (like France and later Britain), posed a significant strategic threat. This fear drove Germany's military strategies, including the Schlieffen Plan, which aimed to quickly defeat France before turning to the east. Such encirclement could limit Germany's ability to effectively defend its territory and resources.
