Probably posted earlier,
What would the consecuences be if the Schlieffenplan was executed as intended. So with the first, 2nd and third army marching through the South of the Netherlands. May be even more north than shown on the map bellow, with the main forces ingnoring the fortresses of Liege.
How would the Dutch army cope with this attack ( Dutch army was one of the first mobilised armies of Europe and in better shape than 36 years later, never the less far outnumbered)
Would there be some coordination or cooperation between Belgian and Dutch armies?
How would this affect the German advance, would it be faster when it moves through Dutch Limburg and Brabant, and not is hold up by the fortress of Liege?
Suppose the Dutch army retread after some action behind the rivers Waal, and Ijssel, and after some failled attempeds of the Germans, dig in and sit it out.
Or are the Dutch encoraged/pressed the Allies who see opportunities for offensives direct to Germany? (This would mean crossing rivers which halted the German advance.)
Would the Netherlands having some teritorial gain, after a war who will follows more or less the path as in OTL?
