The Western Front: Beginning
• Germany and A-H vs France and Great Britain• Germans invaded
Belgium to attack France–Part of the Schlieffen
Plan

What is the Schlieffen Plan?
• Schlieffen Plan – if Germany had to fight on two fronts (against France and Russia), hit France first then go after Russia

German Advance• Germans get within a few
miles of Paris but French and British counterattack–Both sides lose over 200,000
men

Stalemate in Trenches
• Settles into a stalemate–Both sides dig trenches–War becomes defensive, not
mobile

The Eastern Front• Russia vs A-H, Germany,
Ottoman Empire• Covered greater distance–More mobile, not use trenches
as much

Russia’s Problems• Russia is severely undersupplied–Did not have the industrial economy that
other European countries had–Suffers heavy casualties
