The military plans laid before World War I presupposed a major war between the countries which were tied together with alliances.  Because the Triple Entente had Britain, France and Russia as allies, Germany thought if a war began it would need to fight on two fronts -- west and east.  So German Field Marshall Alfred von Schlieffen drew up war plans that said attack France first, quickly, and then hold that territory while deploying forces to contend with Russia in the east.   

When the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914, Austria threatened Serbia with war.  Russia supported its junior ally, Serbia, and began to mobilize troops.  Germany demanded Russia stop its troop mobilization, but the Russian military was ready and eager to go to battle.  So declared war on Russia, and in doing so, the first thing it did was to go and attack France.  Thus the war spread and became instantly a more global conflict.  All the military preparations and battle planning made the outbreak of the war like a series of dominoes falling, as the countries of Europe fell into war with one another.

Maurinko [17]
The correct answer is <span>B. Employ absolute power to maintain order in the areas under their rule.
Machiaveli's idea about ruling was that it is better to be feared that to be loved. Thus a ruler, a king, emperor, or whoever was in charge of a country, had to have absolute power over everyone and instill fear in his or her subjects so that they cannot even think about rebelling. </span>

what group was successful in achieving its goals at the congress of vienna , nationalists conservatists liberals or anarchists?
Whitepunk [10]
The Congress of Vienna was held in order for the powers of Europe to settle territories and boundaries after the fall of Napoleon's Empire in the early 1800's. The conservatives such as Austria and Prussia were quite dominant during the Congress. Their goal was to set some sort of legitimacy in the system that rules Europe, and to balance out power in the continent. France was quite vulnerable and unstable due to its background. However, instability of government was also the case for other European countries. The reason why the conservatives had their goals, is because the liberalism incited by the French Revolution has been consistent with manifesting that it has failed to keep a government's stability. Therefore, it was actually the conservatives who were successful during the Congress, as they were able to achieve their goal of keeping Europe peaceful for about a century.
