Question

what did germanys schlieffen plan call for?
○ a swift victory in russia so germany could focus on france
○ a secret german alliance with belgium and switzerland
○ a series of meetings with the allied powers to avoid warfare
○ a two - front war on the eastern and western borders of germany

Explanation:

The Schlieffen Plan was Germany's military strategy for a two - front war (against France in the west and Russia in the east). Let's analyze each option:

• Option 1: The plan was to quickly defeat France first (not Russia first) and then focus on Russia, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: Germany didn't have a secret alliance with Belgium and Switzerland; in fact, they invaded Belgium, so this is wrong.
• Option 3: The plan was for warfare, not avoiding it through meetings, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: The Schlieffen Plan was designed to handle the two - front war situation on Germany's eastern (against Russia) and western (against France) borders.

Answer:

D. a two - front war on the eastern and western borders of Germany
