Then read The Guns of August. Fantastic book. Guns, best book ever. Can you sell it in Amazon for the entire wiki?

But yeah, that seems like the most plausible reason. Just do what guns says and you'll (hopefully) be fine. I own and read the book the Guns of August, and did some research on WWI, it is a fascinating book to read. The Schlieffen Plan, would of worked if it wasn't for Von Moltke, tampering with the plans, and also the German High Command didn't realize the technology that would be used, because Schlieffen made the plan back in the 1880s-1890s, not realizing the magnitude of the weapons that were invented. However, Germany would of never won, because of its geographical position, and Kaiser Wilhelm's initiative to build up the German Navy up to the size of the British Royal Navy, unfortunately, he barely used the German Fleet effective against the British, for which the Germans used the U-Boats. If Germany won, the war would hurt them, as much it did in real life.
