The Origins of the Schlieffen Plan | Ross Beadle

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?
