	MARCH ON PARIS AND THE BATTLE OF THE MARNE 1914...
		Kluck's mission was to march through Belgium (bringing Britain into the war), drive through north-east France and scoop up Paris, thus trapping the main French armies between their capital and the Franco-German frontier where the German left-wing was waiting.
		Kluck did all that was asked of him, but when Schlieffen's plan left the drawing board and was tested on the battlefield, it began to unravel.
		Crucially, Kluck sidestepped westwards to keep in touch with Bulow, thus giving France's General Joffre the chance to launch the counterstroke attack on his flank that became the Battle of the Marne; a series of engagements which first checked, then reversed, the hitherto victorious German onslaught.

		Von Moltke wanted to exercise more control over the field forces than technology permitted him to do effectively from his headquarters far away.
		General Alexander von Kluck, commander of the German First Army, forcefully argued after the war that his army should have counterattacked rather than retreated.
		But von Kluck never got the chance to press his case at the time; his orders presented him with a fait accompli and in light of the withdrawal of friendly forces around him, he had no choice but to comply with von Moltke’s order to withdraw as well.

		This enabled Parma to regain the southern provinces, and the capture of Antwerp in 1585 ensured that the southern provinces (modern-day Belgium and Luxembourg) remained under Spanish rule.
		One aim of von Bissing's policy was to divide Belgium against itself by supporting the Flemish movement and to corrupt the loyalty of the Dutch-speaking Flemings by setting them against the dominant middle-class francophone Walloons.
