World War One

The war on land, the war at sea, and the war at home all played a role for the victory of the Allied powers. The allied powers I think were more economically stable and were able to provide more resources. I think the most significant was the war on land for one example the Schlieffin Plan. This plan was devised to avoid a two font war so Germany planned on moving through Belgium quickly to get to Paris, but this plan didn’t work as they had hoped. Their troops were finding it hard to keep up with the marching schedules and when Germany reached France and began to fight Germany started to fall behind. I think a big reason the plan didn’t work is because Germany was overconfident in their military powers and didn’t plan for anyone fighting back. Since Germany was falling behind this was a major blow to the Central Powers and allowed the allied powers to gain more ground.
