The Schlieffen Plan and Its Revision Dear Helmuth von Moltke, I am writing to you on this date of January 12th, 1913 for a very valid reason. I have heard of the predicament you may soon find yourself in, dealing with the threat of attacks by two fronts at once, and feel a major concern on your hands. I would like to take a minute to introduce myself to you, as I too am a very predominant war leader. My name is Patrick Frederick Hunder*. I have studied under Frederick the Great, who you may know, was one of the most famous leaders of Germany, and remains one of the most famous German rulers of all time for his military successes and his domestic reforms that made Prussia one of the leading European nations. I have found myself many a times in very sticky situations, and have learned quite well on how to deal with these dilemmas by resorting to wartime strategies. I have familiarized myself with the teachings of Frederick, and have thoroughly read and studied his Instruction to Military Generals. So, in essence, I feel I am in a position to earn your respect, or at least earn the right to suggest to you several revisions in regards to your course of action you might take in your upcoming battle. I have done much research on your problem, and have attempted to help you in your decisions. The plan that has been drawn up by Alfred Graf von Schlieffen is a very in depth strategy, and will definitely help you in your battle. As you know, Schlieffen was the son of a very influential Prussian general. He quickly ascended through the rankings in the army, and soon made the level of general. By 1884, he had become head of the military-history section of the general staff, and in 1891, replaced Waldress as chief of the Great General Staff. While he was in this position, he foresaw the predicament the Nation was going to be in, and developed his plan. All of this information is familiar to you, as you are his successor. There is a flaw I am foreseeing though. While contemplating you're past actions, and the battle you are about to enter, I urge you to stick to his plan. While diagramming out the actions that Schlieffen had proposed, I feel that the care he put into this is well thought out.
because of all the destruction Germany had triggered. The Treaty of Versailles was fair to Germany because, the primary starter of the war was Germany. Several factors ?conflicts with Serbia- Germany declared wars-invasion of Belgium-Germanys attacking plans, all led to the justification of T of V which proved it was fair.
