9. What cunning plan did the Germans come up with?
The German generals knew that: The French and Russians were allies and so they would have to fight both. Russia and France were either side of Germany and so they could be invaded on two sides. Russia was a big country and so it would take a long time to get their soldiers organised. France had strong defences along its border with Germany. However Belgium had few defences and borders with both Germany and France.

10. What did they do? The Schlieffen Plan
The plan stated that the Germans would invade France through Belgium and capture Paris within 6 weeks.
They would then put their soldiers on trains and send them to Russia who would be slower to mobilise their troops.
This would mean that they would avoid French defences and avoid fighting on two fronts.

The Germans were stopped. The plan had failed.
The Germans fell back to the River Aisne. They didn’t want to retreat any further so dug trenches to protect themselves.

Neither side could move the others far. This was stalemate.
