To seize Paris as quickly as possible and defeat France. Belgium to the north was neutral and less well defended. It was thought by the Germans that the attack from the north would have the best chance for a fast advance.

What were the results of Hitlers attack on Poland in World War 2?

It did not have far reaching consequences, because the other western powers were afraid to start another world war, so allowed Germany the right to annex Poland. No Western Power "allowed" Germany the right to annex Poland. Both Britain and France declared war on Germany specifically because of Germany's attack. However, neither Britain nor France were in a favorable military position to intervene or prevent the attack on Poland. The long term consequences were disastrous for Germany as she eventually lost the war and the country was cut in half. Initially, Germany gained several positive short term advantages, such as the territory and the increased access to the North Sea.

What major mistake did the Allies make in preparing to defend against Germany's attack on France?

The major mistake that the Allies made in preparing for Germany's attack in 1940 was their assumption that the Ardennes Forest was impassable. They concentrated their forces to the north and south of it. When Germany attacked through the Ardennes, they encountered weak resistance, which allowed them to complete their plan of encircling the allied armies.
