The First World War and the 1920's(1914-1929) By Shaan Mewasingh

Germany's Plan

Germany's plan was to invade France by going through
Belgium and hit France where they did not have a big army at. Then they would go to center part of France take them down pass through Germany and attack Russia.

But Germany's plan did not work out because
Belgium did not let them through without a fight.
Germany thought it would be a fast fight but it took longer
what let France line up there troops up North and let Russia
mobilize there to help. At that point Germany had to start a 2 front war what made them lose because they split the army a part. Britain had a agreement that no body could touch Belgium so they went to help out.

Instead of what they planned the war ended up taking
4 years before ending. Germany's planned failed.
