I'll just throw forward some ideas here:
- No gap in the German lines at Marne?
- Belgium allows German troops through?
- Germany being more prepared for war?
Yes, I know that the Schlieffen Plan was completely messed up, but could Germany have won with it? If it did, what would the resulting end-war treaty be like, and what impact would it have on the world?
(Once I read a book describing an alternate history in which Germany won WWI with the Schlieffen Plan. How exactly isn't quite described, other than "it goes really well," but the impact on world history is intriguing. No WWII, decolonization, etc. so this was just something I was thinking about).
