a swift defeat of France through an invasion of Belgium, followed by an attack against Russia

a quick invasion of Russia so that the war would only be fought on one front

a quick invasion of Great Britain and destruction of the British navy

simultaneous invasions of France, Britain, and Russia

Why did most of the combat on the Western Front in World War I take place in a relatively small area?

The armies were unable to move much because of trench warfare.

There is only a small amount of flat land in all of Europe.

Germany's military tactics were based on "static warfare,"

Each side cut off the fuel supply of the other.

The Schlieffen Plan was designed by the German military to

Avoid the problem of having to fight the war on two fronts

neutralize Great Bridtain's naval control of the North Sea

address U.S. troop deployments in France

strengthen the defense of Germany's colonies in Africa

How did trench warfare change the nature of fighting during World War I?

Troops were forced into defensive positions leading to a stalemate

Armies had to abandon the use of heavy artillery

Civilians were forced to engage in military activities that increased casualties

Paratroopers were used to get behind enemy lines

What affected the German decision to attack France before attacking Russia?

Russia would take longer to mobilize its troops due to the immense size of the nation.

France was a long-time enemy of Britain, so the British would not join the war.

Austria planned to attack Russia, so the Germans didn't worry about that front.

France was a weaker industrial nation than Russia.

How did trench warfare affect military decisions on the Western Front during World War I?

It led to using destructive weapons and a lack of military options to break the stalemate.

It showed that there was no more need for naval warfare as waterways did not matter.

It allowed generals to have more options for lighting quick warfare.

It created more precise military warfare that lessened civilian casualties.

Why did the Allies attempt to conquer the Turkish forces in the Dardanelles?

They believed it would lead to control over the waterway separating Europe from Asia.

They hoped it would lead to the expulsion of Germany from their colonies in Asia.

They reasoned that it would allowed them to control the Mediterranean Sea and North Africa.

They realized the importance of protecting India and its important trading resources.

Why did the United States remain neutral for so long before entering World War I?

The United States had a longstanding isolationist policy to avoid entangling alliances.

The climate of the United States did not allow them to farm enough food to send with troops to Europe.

The United States had been successfully using British and German waterways for trade during the war.

The United States did not have the resources to create an effective army.
