German battle plan

The over all German battle plan went from destroy france within the frist few weeks of the war then move to destroy russia to trying to issolate russia, gain allies to help with the war effort, and spread britains resouces thin. The war the Germans where trying to isolate russia was by cuting off comunication in the north using their navy, and helping the turks fend off the british and her allies to keep russia isolated in the south. This was a wise move on the part of the british because it would mean that the allies would not be able to corrdinate a large scale two front attack. The reasons that germany needed more allies because they had lost italy and they needed to get more troops into the battles. Germany at this point was holding the french and the british back on the western front, while simultaneously holding the russians back on the eatern front. Germany also had troops spread all over the world fighing the british and her colonies.
