The Schlieffen plan was designed shortly after The Franco-Prussian war by the Germans as a means of defeating the French quickly and efficiently. A similar method was used effectively during the Second World War but did not work so well during the First World War.

What was the schifflen plan in World War 1?

General Schlieffen wanted to avoid waging a war from two fronts (France to the west and Russia to the east) so because he believed that Russia would take a long time to prepare he went up north through Belgium to invade France. He wanted to quickly attack France -with the element of surprise- and then move his attention to Russia and overtake them and thus be able to deal with them individually. What ended up happening was that by going through Belgium it prompted Britain into the war on the side of the French and the Russians mobilized quicker then expected plus the Belgium's put up a fight. - the Schlieffen plan had nothing to do with the assassisnation of Archduke Franz Ferdinand as what previously mentioned, that was the Serbian terrorist group "the Black Hand."


How was the anaconda plan executed?

The Anaconda plan, which was enacted in the American Civil War, was designed to defeat the South with as little bloodshed as possible. First, the plan would oversee the taking of the Mississippi River, effectively cutting the South into two parts. After this occurred, the North would then strategically blockade the Eastern and Gulf Seaboard, preventing trade and necessary supplies. This would stifle the economy of the South further, effectively forcing them to surrender.
