1. How did the Schlieffen Plan contribute to he outbreak of World War I?
A: The Schlieffen Plan contributed to the outbreak of World War I as it called for a two-front war with France as Russia. According to this plan, Germanh would conduct a small holding against Russia while most of the Germab army would carry out a rapid invasion of France by moving through Belgium. Hence, Germany issued an ultimatum to Belgium demanding the right of German troops to pass through Belgium territory. Belgium, however, was a neutral nation. Thus, Great Britain declared war on Germany, officially for violating Belgium neutrality but was also concerned about maintaining its own world power. The Great Powers of Europe were then at war.

There was no room in their vengeful minds for a idealistic future.
