ANSWER: (d) Quickly attack France, then turn back toward Russia before Russia could send troops to Germany

The German Schlieffen Strategy was formulated years before the war began and was part of a systematic military strategy. It was doomed to fail unfortunately.

Explanation:

• Germany's Schlieffen strategy was intended to force France into submission and to make France to comply and conquer Russia afterwards. It didn't work as Russian soldiers targeted Germany as German troops invaded France.
• The man who planned it was General Alfred von Schlieffen, the Chief of Staff of Germany. From 1891 to 1905, he was chief of staff and exalted specifically the military task of the strategic role of Germany in careful planning and theoretical thinking.
• Schlieffen's strategy was a sweeping, audacious conception of how to win a two-front battle. In essence, speed would be of the essence: by first very quickly destroying France, then turn on Russia's big force, which would be slower in its preparations for war. The Schlieffen Plan did not take into consideration the political ramifications of what was considered basically a technological solution to a military problem.
• In the aftermath of a large assault on France, it called for an violation of Belgian and Dutch neutrality by occupying all these nations. After conquering Belgium and Holland a massive German force will come through Northern France to arch around Paris, to achieve a decisive victory in around six weeks 'time. Paris itself – France's armies and French leaders – was intended to become a military masterpiece and a battle to annihilate.
• However, the plan failed since it was not realistic. It would have required a flawless unfolding of events which never takes place during war time. The Schlieffen plan ultimately left Germany with the 2-front war that Germany feared
