LO: To add knowledge of World War I to prepare for the Controlled Assessment Germany were the most industrial of all the nations and so were able to prepare for war first. Although Germany faced enemies on both the Eastern and Western fronts (sides) Kaiser Wilhelm's generals correctly told him that France would be ready first as Russia was too large, disorganised and slow. The German General Alfred Von Schlieffen had prepared a plan for if war broke out, which included avoiding crossing the Apennine Mountains into France by marching through Belgium.

The Belgians delayed the German advance by two weeks, giving the French valuable time to prepare.

LO: To add knowledge of World War I to prepare for the Controlled Assessment The French army marched in beautiful formal red uniforms and fought in traditional lines, only to be mowed down by German machine guns. The French continued to charge bravely forward, as they had in the Napoleonic Wars, but this time to no avail. The German counter-attack broke the French lines and the French army had to retreat behind the Marne River and even evacuate Paris. The tired French were now reinforced by the British soldiers and dug defensive trenches to hold the Kaiser’s army at bay.

Both sides forced their men to charge against enemy machine guns.
