History

<h2><u>Explanation:</u></h2>

There were a lot of factors -- most were not what Schlieffen expected.

1. France wasn't that easy to conquer. It took longer than Schlieffen thought.

2. Belgium did not respond the way Schlieffen expected. They fought Germany.

3. Russia was more flexible that Schlieffen thought. They mobilized quicker and were much more adept at using their forces.

4. In all, Schlieffen made plans that were inflexible and did not account for the way wars are actually fought.

Answer:

Hi!

Explanation:

To get around the French defences on the German-French border, the forces had to penetrate Belgium and attack the French Army from the north. Because the Belgians refused to let them pass, the Germans decided to invade Belgium by force on August 4, 1914. Belgium's failure to carry out the Schlieffen Plan to conquer Paris infuriated the German Army. From the top down, it was widely assumed that the Belgians had released illegal saboteurs (dubbed "francs-tireurs") and that citizens had tortured and maltreated German soldiers. A series of large-scale attacks on civilians, as well as the demolition of historic structures and cultural sites, was the response. Between August and November 1914, the German army executed between 5,500 and 6,500[13] French and Belgian people, most of them in near-random large-scale shootings of civilians ordered by junior German officials. Individuals suspected of partisan activities were shot and killed in broad daylight. Historians looking at German Army records revealed 101 "significant" occurrences involving ten or more civilians, with a total of 4,421 people dead. In addition, historians identified 383 "minor" occurrences that resulted in the deaths of another 1,100 Belgians. Germany said almost all of them were in retaliation to guerilla attacks. [14] In addition, a number of prominent Belgians, notably politician Adolphe Max and scholar Henri Pirenne, were held as hostages in Germany.

enot [183]

Answer:

This requirement only applies when the law in question requires the government to have acted.  

This state action requirement extends to a number of actions.

According to the Supreme Court in Edmonson v. Leesville Concrete Co., Inc., 500 U.S. 614 (1991), "Although the conduct of private parties lies beyond the Constitution's scope in most instances, governmental authority may dominate an activity to such an extent that its participants must be deemed to act with the authority of the government and, as a result, be subject to constitutional constraints."
