Fighting a war on two fronts splits up your military. You have a whole country between your two main forces, and you would need twice the number of supply lines. This weakened Germany in both World War I and World War II. The double front made leadership much harder, and where combined forces could have held off Allied assaults the smaller forces could not.

∙ 13y agoGermany was fighting on two fronts in WW1 because of a complex system of alliances. When Bosnian Serb terrorists succeeded in their assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, Austria-Hungary made demands of Serbia that Serbia could not acquiesce to as an independent nation. Serbia was allied with Russia, so that, when Austria-Hungary commenced hostilities against the Serbians, the Russians declared war against Austria-Hungary. Germany was allied to Austria-Hungary, so they joined the Austrians against the Russians. The Russians were allied to France and Britain, so Great Britain declared war on Germany. Then, a plethora of smaller nations, tied to alliances, began declaring war on the main participants and also on each other. Germany did not want to fight on two fronts, but it followed its treaties like all the other players in WW1.
