The Schlieffen Plan was developed in the early 20th century, specifically in 1905, by German General Count Alfred von Schlieffen. It was a military strategy designed to enable Germany to fight a two-front war against France in the west and Russia in the east. The plan emphasized a rapid, sweeping advance through Belgium to quickly defeat France before turning to confront Russia. The implementation of the Schlieffen Plan began at the onset of World War I in August 1914. However, it ultimately failed due to various factors, leading to a prolonged stalemate on the Western Front.
