Please =) Thanks in advance xWww@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The five key assumptions of the schlieffen plan are: 1!.) The Russian Mobilization would take greater than 6 weeks 2!.) Belgium & the Netherlands would not resist and would let Germany through!. 3!.) Will surprise the French, and would prevent them from mobilizing & defend themselves!. 4!.) The plan also assumes that the moblization of the German army would discourage England from getting involved!. 5!.) The plan also assumes that Paris will fall within a week or two!.Www@QuestionHome@Com !.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
