12 Reasons for success (Allied side, F.,UK)
-Still attacked even though the french general said his army is to tired. -The first and second armies from Germany got split up -They attacked Germany from every side they couldn’t concentrate on one side -Russia started to attack from the east Germany had to fight at two fronts

13 Reasons for failure (German side)
-Germany expanded their territory further out - They had to defend more and more ground with fewer troops -They became more vulnerable -The French troops knew their country and could rely on that knowledge, the germans simply didn’t. -Had to fight at two fronts so they got fewer soldiers at the west front.

14 Significance of the battle overall
-Changed the whole war -Determinative for failure of Germany overall -Schlieffen plan doesn’t work anymore -Ending of mobile warfare, start of static warfare on the western front
