Question

How did the failure of Germany's schlieffen plan to quickly defeat France affect the future course of the war?

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The Schlieffen plan to quickly defeat France was an idea that belonged to Alfred von Schlieffen in 1905. He considered that Germany could win a quick war with France when battling Russia. The successor of von Schlieffen, Helmuth von Moltke decided to implement the plan during World War 1, but he reduced the size of the German Army and the plan completely failed. This action provoked Britain to enter the war to support France. So the plan's failure affected the participants and conditions of World War 1.

Answer 2

Answer:

The schlieffen plan was a hope to swiftly knock out France.

But the French were able to stop the German advance and hunker down into trenches. For the rest of the war was fought in trenches.
