Alfred von Schlieffen was a German Field Marshal born in 1833 who developed the Schlieffen Plan. The plan aimed to defeat France within 6 weeks through a surprise attack, then transport German troops by rail to defeat Russia. However, the plan had weaknesses in assuming rapid victory over France and Russia's mobilization time. Though initially blamed on Moltke, the plan's failure was ultimately due to flaws in its underlying assumptions. Schlieffen had an illustrious military career, participating in several wars and serving as Chief of the German General Staff from 1891 to 1906.

December of 1905
My pan was based of my belief that the Western
front would be the most decisive area for future
European conflict
I identified that France would be Germany’s most
dangerous opponent
I concluded that a massive surprise attack would be
enough to put of Britain from joining a continental
war
7. My plan was based on a six week opening to defeat
France
After the defeat of France, Germany’s extensive
railway system would be used to transport German
troops back to the German/Russian Front
They would then attack Russia
Due to European tension, my plan was revised, but
the basis remained the same; conquer France within
a six week gap, then return my troops to attack
Russia
9. My plan was bold, but it came with glaring
weaknesses
The actions of Russia would determine when

plan and failed
A union of formal General Staff officers named
themselves after me and commemorated a day called
Schlieffen Day in my honor.
My doctrines of encirclement and annihilation continued
to prevail
For a while, my plans failure was viewed to be the fault of
Moltke, but views were later changed to show that its
failure was in fact because of the basis if the plan itself
