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
