The Schlieffen plan was a plan to win a swift victory over France, by engaging massive military German forces and invading Belgium and Luxembourg, in order to overwhelm French defensive capabilities. The idea was that the implementation of such plan would force the French army into a decisive battle that it would lose and Germany would be able to dictate favorable conditions to a shocked French republic.

The plan was devised by Field Marshal Alfred von Schlieffen. It did not yield all the expected results. Although France suffered heavy losses, Germany was unable to stop the strategic, fast retreat of French forces to heavily defended positions and the war evolved into a very long trench was of attrition.

In my view, speed was the only way such plan would have worked. Had the Germans used all the mechanized troop transportation systems it could muster, the French army would have been encircled and cut from its strategic rear and the Germans would have forced them into surrendering.

Compare and contrast the author’s depictions of Nicholas II and Vladimir Lenin. What do these depictions reveal about these hist
Vinvika [58]

Answer: The comparison of Nicholas II and Vladimir Lenin

Explanation Both the leaders were hungry for power and came onto to become leaders by promising good for the people but the similarity didn't catch one's eye but how different to each historical figure was has been highlighted many a time.

  • Nicholas II was czar and hence being born into a royal family made him an obvious leader whereas Lenin gained prominence in the party and came into power thus.
  • Lenin had the willingness to lead Russia used the Bolshevik party to do so, however the Tsar was happy to be with his family and pets and not a bit interested in leadership.
  • Nicholas II and his entire family were assassinated whereas Lenin died of natural causes way later.
  • Lenin was the more brutal of the two and used his power to get what he wanted even if it meant  torturing or murdering. here Nicholas made some concessions.
  • The military responsibility was on Nicholas II during his regime but when Lenin took over he would delegate it.

Finally, none of them actually cared for the poor, the oppressed were further in distress when these two came to power.
