'''Helmuth Johann Ludwig von Moltke''' (1848-1916) was a leading general in the army of [[Imperial Germany]], often referred to as '''Moltke the Younger''' to distinguish him from his also-famous uncle, [[Field Marshal]] Helmuth Karl Bernhard von Moltke ("Moltke the Elder"), who played a vital role in the unification of Germany in the 1860s and '70s. Moltke the Younger was chief of the German General Staff from 1906 to 1914, making him the effective head of the German Army, and in that capacity led it during the initial actions of [[World War I]]. His actions surrounding the German decision to go to war, and his implementation of the [[Schlieffen Plan]], continue to be debated by historians.
