FACT OF THE DAY:

Why did the Germans lose WW1? There are lots of reasons but most historians agree a big part of the problem was the Schlieffen Plan. The plan involved going through Belgium, quickly capturing Paris and then focusing on Russia. Here is the problem. They believed that it would take 6 weeks to take down France and 6 weeks for Russia to mobilise. France was proving way tougher than Germany thought and Russia mobilised in 6 days. They also thought Britain wouldn't defend Belgium. They were wrong there too. So why did they make all these mistakes. The plan was made in 1905 that is 11 years before WW1.
