==Schlieffen==
What are the sources on the Schlieffen plan? Wikipedia? The Schlieffen plan dates to 1892 and was based upon fighting a two-front. The Russo-Japanese presented a onetime, temporary opportunity to economize it into a on-front war, nothing more. But the basic plan of fighting a two-front war existed since the collapse of the Three Emperors League in 1887 and the founding of the Russo-French rapprochement of 1891.
The problem of a two-front war occupied German military planners since the founding of the Second Reich in 1871. Schlieffen is recognized as the one who proposed a workable solution. In 1940, the German's used a modified Schlieffen plan based on bluff, decoy, and diversions.
