- - - - German Schlieffen Plan
        
        Germany had a lot of disadvantage
        
        Had to fight with both France and Russia
        
        Germany's lack of natural
        frontier defence
        
        No movilization
        
        Germanys advantages
        
        Good planification and strategies
        
        Take over France
        
        A lot of manpower in one place
        
        Problems
        
        France aircraft wasn't taken into account
        
        The battle was sooner than expected
        
        Belgium and the UK werent approving this invation so they supported Russia and France
        
        The plan did not take into account France’s use of aircraft observation to track
        German movements
        
        Russian forces were available for action far sooner than
        Germany had anticipated.
        
        Railways could concentrate forces in one area, but after that the German armies
        had to march to battle
        
        Change of plans caused confusion in German troops
  - - - New military equipment like machin guns, gas; and new technologies in transportation helped them to resist the attack
        
        Railways developed and helped transport of these new equipment and troops go furder and faster
        
        Aircraft developments were better in these countries and gave them advantage in respect to germany
        
        Bombing were key for destroing germany defence and troop in allied territorie
      - long trenches in fronteers
      - The artillery bombardment was terrifying and did destroy a lot of the front- line
        positions, but the defences were deep and they extended to the rear
- - - - Germany helped them deffend from russian attacks
  - - - Japan attacked port klaochow in China that was propertie of Germany
      - The empires of Europe joined the war and attacked other colonies of Germany overseas
- - - - As war plans across Europe broke down, both sides
      - A race to get to the see was started
      - Temporary trenches became more developed as increasing amounts of men and
        equipment were brought up to the front line
