i,ve tried to fix is it it better.{sorry about the lack of question marks my laptop can,t seem to make them}Hello Brendan,
As someone pointed out in another thread, you really need to give more context and thought in written form on the forum, it's not the best to just drop a link and ask for opinions, you need to give yours and elaborate![]()
I haven't watched the video but a good thread start would be like this:i,ve tried to fix is it it better.{sorry about the lack of question marks my laptop can,t seem to make them}
The Schlieffen plan was flawed, meant for a very different kind of warfare than WW1, and heavily relied on things like: we will mobilize much faster than the enemy, Belgium will not resist an invasion, and the Russians will mobilize so slow we will take Paris before they're done.
I thought the British at Mons were an overriding reason for the failure of the Schlieffen Plan.I haven't watched the video but a good thread start would be like this:
"As you may know, the Schlieffen plan was the initial German plan for WWI, which wanted to punch out France before rotating and taking on the Russians.
It failed due to French tenacity, panache and all around being the best nation in the world, but what if it had succeeded? What if Germany had managed to take France out of the war very quickly, as in WWII? I found this video exploring a bit that scenario which got me thinking.
To me it would mean x, y and z, what would be your thoughts?"
Of course, you may want to adjust some things in what I've said but that would be the general idea

Or maybe it's the threat of the American entering the war that made the silly Germans piss their lederhosen.I thought the British at Mons were an overriding reason for the failure of the Schlieffen Plan.

It was a joke. I would think the battle of Mons thing was a joke too.They managed to go on fighting for over eighteen months after the US came in. It was no doubt a blow to morale, but didn't cause it to collapse.
