Militaria 1914
Aborted Plans
From: The Great Class War 1914-1918
$1.40
August 1914: All armies go to war brimming with confidence. The commanders
proceed to implement the plans that are supposed to guarantee success, such as
Plan XVII of the French and the famous Schlieffen Plan of the Germans. But none
of the planned scenarios become reality and everywhere the war degenerates into
an unforeseen stationary conflict. In the meantime, the flames of war also flare
up in the Middle East and in Africa. A conflict that had started in Europe thus
becomes a genuine world war . . .
