Plan 19 was a plan drawn up by Yuri Danilov, a Russian general. The plan was made in 1910 and was originally called Plan A. He thought that because of the outbreak of the war in Europe, Germany would concentrate its forces on France. Danilov suggested that his four armies, 19 corps, should invade East Prussia. Plan 19 was a pen offensive Poland opposite to what Russian plans had done in the past. Other leaders of the Russian Army disagreed with Danilov's tactics. They said that Austria-Hungary was a bigger threat than Prussia. In 1912, the plan was slightly altered. They decided to send two armies to East Prussia. That way, they could still concentrate on the greater threat, Austria-Hungary.
