The Schlieffen Plan was the strategic plan for victory, in case of the instance where Germany would be fighting a war on two fronts. In order to speed up the process of the Schlieffen Plan and avoid a war on two fronts, Germany declared war on France and invaded Belgium. In defence of Belgium's neutral standing in the War, Britain declared war on Germany and thus the First World War began, therefore, the hastiness of German forces and the Schlieffen plan; had effectively sparked the First World War. .

What was the main reason of the Schlieffen Plan?
The main reason behind the Schlieffen Plan was to ensure that Germany could not be invaded from both the East (Russia) and West (France) simultaneously. The idea was to defeat France swiftly by cutting through Belgium, swiftly deal with the French and then to return to the eastern front to see off Russia who it was reckoned would take longer to mobilise. It was carried out in 1914 long after Count Schlieffen's 'retirement' and was the main reason Britain joined the war as they had an alliance with neutral Belgium to protect her if her neutrality was ever compromised by invasion.

Was the Schlieffen plan the ultimate reason for Germany losing World War 1?
Well, no, the Schlieffen Plan was pretty successful. Germany's plan was to knock out France first and then attack Russia under the assumption that Russia wouldn't mobilize fast enough. As Germany rolled in Northeastern France, you really have to credit the French effort on the Marne which stopped the Germans. Futher, you have to credit the Russians with actually mobilizing because although they were disastrously defeated at Tannenberg, this did take pressure off the Western Front. Perhaps more importantly, the failure of Germany to beat France using the Schlieffen Plan had mostly to do with the poor execution of the plan by the current head of the Germany Army, General Helmuth von Moltke the Younger. Moltke fatally weakened the strong Right Flank that the Schlieffen plan called for to sweep through Belgium and the Netherlands. He moved over 400,000 troops out of this Right Flank to help reinforce the Left Flank and Eastern Front; the Schlieffen plan had considered these reinforcements unnecessary, and, history has show, was correct. Moltke's adjustments meant that the German Right Flank was about 50% of the size it should have been, and thus, the French were able to contain and delay it enough to prevent it from performing the knock-out blow it was designed to. In the end, Moltke was too timid a commander for a strategy so bold as the Schlieffen plan.

What were the schlieffen plans' weaknesses?
The Schlieffen Plan was weak because it relied upon the fact that Russia would not mobilise as quickly as she did. In addition little attention was paid to the fact that Britain could enter the war. Ultimately the Schlieffen Plan failed not because of flaws with the plan but because of the way it was carried out; 1. The German High Command miscalcuated the speed at which Russia could mobilise. 2. German troops did not invade the Netherlands as Count von Schlieffen had intended; as a result roads in Belgium became too clogged with German troops and equipment and vital Channel and North Sea ports were not seized. 3. The German army swung round too early and failed to encircle Paris. In doing so they were unable to attack the French army on the German-French frontier which Count von Schieffen had relied upon crushing the French army. It is important to note that while the Schlieffen Plan was not perfect it was tactically sound. What really ended its usefulness was the fact that it was slightly out of date (failing to take into account advances in Russia's mobilisation tactics) and the German High Command trying to cut corners and not following the plan to the letter. Hope this helps.
Is the Schlieffen plan an example of nationalism?
No.Nationalism is basically a belief that your country is better than other countries.The Schlieffen Plan was a German war plan from before World War I. It assumed that Germany would wind up fighting a war against France and Russia at the same time. So the German commanders planned to have almost all of their military attack France to try to quickly defeat them at the start of the war, and then fight Russia afterward- they knew that it would take longer for Russia to get their armies ready. When the war actually started, the Germans did not follow the plan correctly and it failed.
Was the Schlieffen Plan working in 1917?
The Schlieffen Plan was the German stratgey at the beginning of World War I. It called for an invasion of France first and to wipe them out quickly before Russia could mobilize, avoiding a two-front war. However, France held out and Russia was faster than expected. Thus, the Schlieffen Plan failed miserably. It was not working in 1917, even though Russia withdrew from the war because it did not give Germany a short war or a single front war. And besides, France was suppposed to be defeated first.
