The Schlieffen plan and the realities of Trench Warfare. Chapter 24 Section 1 part 2 The Schlieffen plan and the realities of Trench Warfare.

WARM UP Go to the corner of the room that you know the answer for. Front Name 2 countries involved in WW1 Name 3 countries involved WW1 Name 4-5 countries Involved in the war. You can name 6 or more Of the countries involved in WW1.

MAP Study: Germany is now faced with a 2 front war MAP Study: Germany is now faced with a 2 front war. What are there options? How would you advise them to proceed? Cite Evidence. RUSSIA U.K. Germany Austria-Hungary France Any IDEAS????

Germany Chooses…The Schlieffen Plan. The Plan: German spies said it would be 92 days before Russia could mobilize. 1. Attack France and conquer it in 30 days. 2. Regroup and send most of the troops by train to the Eastern Front to Attack Russia (take 30-40 days). 3. Attack and defeat Russia before they are able to mobilize. BRILLIANT! …..here’s how it goes down…

FAKE ATTACK. Germany holds a feint (fake attack) on Frances Eastern border while the Main attack force heads north through Belgium.

France Responds. FRANCE BELIEVES IT IS A DIVERSION AND ATTACKS PROVINCES TO THE SOUTH OF BELGIUM

German Attack… GERMANY HOLDS UP OUTSIDE OF PARIS AND FRANCE RESPONDS AND HOLDS GERMAN ADVANCE AT THE BATTLE OF MARNE

THIS SAVES FRANCE… How? Discuss with a neighbor: Speculate how do you think a TAXI is responsible for saving Paris….use evidence in your explanation.

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Interactive map. BBC - History - Animations - Animated Map: The Western Front, 1914 – 1918

Germans “DIG” in. Faced with the fact that the French are no longer giving ground. The Germans ‘dig in’ (build trenches) and Trench warfare begins in the WEST.

A picture of soldiers going A SHORT WAR The British government wanted to encourage men to enlist for war. They said the war would be safe, hardly any fighting, and over by Christmas. (TDA) How close was this poster to reality of trench warfare? Cite your evidence. A picture of soldiers going ‘Over the Top’

OBSERVATIONS? No smiling and relaxed faces… No clean uniforms… Their equipment is scattered everywhere… Boredom and sleep are obvious…

Posters always showed men ready and willing to fight. Propaganda. Posters always showed men ready and willing to fight. They never showed the boredom of the trenches or actual fighting taking place. Why do you think the government showed no fighting?
