- If the Germans attacked through Belgium the French would be taken by surprise. The speed of the German attack would lead to the French surrendering within 6 weeks. - Schlieffen decided that Russia would take a long time to mobilise its troops because of its size and backwardsness.
- So Germans would be able to defeat France quickly and then use the same troops to defeat Russia.- Even though Von Schlieffen died in 1912 they still used his place but changed it slightly so that they just went through Belgium and not Holland.
