The Schlieffen Plan was Germany's tactical solution or plan for avoiding a "two-front" war with France and Russia. They planned to attack France because they felt they were their biggest threat and if they took the fight in France's direction they hoped Russia would stay uninvolved. This strategy worked pretty well with a few adjustments because Russia did not mobilize there troops in that direction. In conclusion the Schlieffen Plan named after Alfred von Schlieffen, the chief of the German General Staff was successful in the end.
