WWI The War

Enthusiasm Many people were excited when war broke out. Most thought it would be glamorous and exciting. Most thought it would be quick.

The Schlieffen Plan Once the War started, the Germans unleashed the Schlieffen Plan. The plan was a way to deal with fighting a 2-front war. It called for a quick knock-out of one of the opponents. Most of the troops went through Belgium which was neutral.

The invasions through Belgium resulted in many civilians killed and hurt Germany’s reputation. This led to the Germans being called “barbarians” and “Huns”. England entered the war as a result of German invasion of Belgium. The German advance to Paris was halted at the Marne River in what is known as the battle of the Marne. This ended the hope for a quick war.

A 2-Front War By late 1914, there were 2 European fronts: The Western Front—In France where trench warfare took place. England and France fought against Germany. The Eastern Front—In Russia, it was too big for trench warfare.

Trench Warfare Both sides would attempt many offensives, but most were futile.
