This presentation, which was delivered 'live' to an online audience by Ross Beadle is about the famous Schlieffen Plan undertaken by the German army in 1914.

The talk is based on documentation that has emerged since the fall of the Wall. Ross asks why did Germany box herself into a corner with a military strategic plan that demanded a huge gamble on war? Was it Schlieffen's Plan – or Moltke's? Did Moltke's changes to the strategy make it doomed to fail?

We hope to host more 'live' webinars. If you would like to take part in these, please do consider joining The Western Front Association.
