What was the name of the war plan Germany had developed in 1905?
The Schlieffen Plan, named after Alfred von Schlieffen, the general who created it. Understanding that a war (World War I) would probably happen soon and that it would involve Germany fighting against France and Russia at the same time, it was designed to attack France and defeat her quickly. The Russian army was very large but slow to mobilize, so it gave Germany time to fight France first.
What was the main reason of the Schlieffen Plan?
The main reason behind the Schlieffen Plan was to ensure that Germany could not be invaded from both the East (Russia) and West (France) simultaneously. The idea was to defeat France swiftly by cutting through Belgium, swiftly deal with the French and then to return to the eastern front to see off Russia who it was reckoned would take longer to mobilise. It was carried out in 1914 long after Count Schlieffen's 'retirement' and was the main reason Britain joined the war as they had an alliance with neutral Belgium to protect her if her neutrality was ever compromised by invasion.
Is the Schlieffen plan an example of nationalism?
No.Nationalism is basically a belief that your country is better than other countries.The Schlieffen Plan was a German war plan from before World War I. It assumed that Germany would wind up fighting a war against France and Russia at the same time. So the German commanders planned to have almost all of their military attack France to try to quickly defeat them at the start of the war, and then fight Russia afterward- they knew that it would take longer for Russia to get their armies ready. When the war actually started, the Germans did not follow the plan correctly and it failed.
