The Germans’ intended lightning attack of France did not succeed. Instead their advances were
slowed drastically by stiff Allied resistance.
Long lines of trenches dug from Belgium to the Swiss border ensured both sides got stuck in a
fruitless yet bloody trench warfare

In 1914, the Germans failed to even
reach Paris. The Schlieffen Plan had
collapsed. They were drawn into a
two-front war.
