  2. After the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand:Serbia VS. Austria-Hungary Russia Germany France*** Italy & Britain remained uncommitted.

  3. The Schlieffen Plan(pg. 683) Britain had to decide whether or not to support its Triple Entente ally France. Germany made the decision for them! The Schlieffen Plan was designed to avoid a two-front war against France in the west and Russia in the east. Under this plan, Germany first had to defeat France quickly and then it would fight Russia.

  4. Schlieffen Plan: required German armies to march through Belgium to get to France. On August 3, Germany INVADED a neutral Belgium. Britain and other Europeans had signed a treat guaranteeing Belgian neutrality, so Britain declared war on Germany. Italy chose to remain neutral for the time being.

  5. The Western Front

  6. The Western Front Germans soon violated the Schlieffen Plan; Russia mobilized more quickly than Germany had expected. As Russia won a few small victories in the east, Germany had to shift some troops there which weakened their forces in the west. The British joined French troops and pushed back the German offensive which destroyed Germany’s hopes for a quick victory on the Western Front.

  7. A Multi-Front War
