Alright, I feel comfortable to finally start this TL, now that school is over. Basically I am going to be detailing the whole war and the post war, which should take me a while. Please give feed back, as, though my research has been broad, the TL is an attempt at realism. Help me make it right!

Anyway, I will mostly be focusing on Germany and the decisions and strategies immediately affecting her. The war at sea and the peripheral theaters will be neglected, mentioned in passing really, only when they are necessary to the overall plot.
The POD is that Moltke falls down a flight of stairs on the 18th of August 1914 and breaks his neck. Falkenhayn is put in command earlier, with noticeable results almost immediately. My interpretation of the man is according to Robert Foley's: German Strategy and the Path to Verdun, which I feel fully explores the complexities of this misunderstood commander. The first part will be posted shortly.
