The plan was to lure French into attacking the heavily defended Franco-German Border while main forces would outflank the French, sweep through Belgium and circle round Paris to attack from the rear
REALITY:
Advance was successfully halted at River Marne and Aisne
Here trench warfare set in
Following period is named the Race to the Sea (each side trying to outflank eachother)
Philosophy of attrition was adopted: wearing down the enemy over time
