		The chief aim of Plan XVII, devised by Ferdinand Foch in the wake of the humiliation of the Franco-Prussian War, and taken up by French Commander-in-Chief Joseph Joffre in 1913, was the recapture of the territory of Alsace and Lorraine.
		Plan B (for Balkans) detailed the requirement for six Austro-Hungarian armies in the field, three to invade Serbia, with a further three guarding the Russian border to dissuade an attack from that quarter.
		Plan R (for Russia) essentially revised Plan B, allowing for a greater volume of troops to guard against Russian assistance for the Serbs in the south, whilst assuming German activity in the north.

	Plan XVII information - Search.com
		Plan XVII was the name of a war plan adopted by the French General Staff in 1913, to be put into effect by the French Army in case of a war between France and Germany.
		The offensive plan used brute force and a mystical belief in the French "élan" or "fighting spirit." General Joseph Joffre adopted this plan upon becoming commander-in-chief in 1911.
		This created a spirit of revanchism in France, and one of the main aims of Plan XVII was to recapture Alsace and Lorraine.

	New Guidelines for management planning for Ramsar sites and other wetlands
		The management plan itself should be a technical document, though it may be appropriate for it to be supported by legislation and in some circumstances to be adopted as a legal document.
		Often management planning should not be restricted to the defined site boundary, but rather should also take into account the wider context of planning and management, notably in the basin or coastal zone within which the site is located, which can be transboundary in nature.
		It is important to ensure that the site planning takes into account the external natural and human-induced factors and their influence on the site, and also to ensure that the management objectives for a site are taken into account in the wider planning processes.

	France at War - French Strategy and Doctrine: 1914
		Since 1918 historians have considered Plan XVII the embodiment of French strategy in 1914 and have seen French thinkers such as Ardant du Picq and Ferdinand Foch as providing the primary intellectual force behind the offensive a outrance.
		In reality Plan XVII was nothing more than a concentration plan and an expression of alternatives, and French strategy in 1914 was devised and controlled personally by General Joseph Joffre.
		While Plan XVII provided for the mobilization and concentration of the French army in the northeast and included alternatives for possible maneuver, it was not a blueprint for strategy and operations in August 1914.

		The French Plan XVII coupled with this perfectly, from the German point of view, although neither side was aware of the relationship of the plans to one another.
		Plan XVII, adopted in March 1913, remained essentially unchanged until it was enacted in August 1914.
		Another factor in the failure of the Schlieffen Plan's execution was that the German commander closest to the Channel coast feared being too distant from his colleague on the left, and moved his forces closer to those of his colleague, shortening the arc of the German line.

		Conversely, if Helmuth von Moltke (the Elder) was right, that no war plan ever survives contact with the enemy, civilian and military leaders ought to be wary of the fact that substantial resources devoted to peacetime war planning are being wasted because of its irrelevancy.
		The general consequences of war plans have not been fully explored, however, because most of the extant literature consists largely of historical studies of individual plans.
		The offensive French Plan XVII played into German hands by providing a defensive pretext for attacking France while putting the weight of the French attack at precisely the right spot to make the Schlieffen Plan successful.

	Schlieffen Plan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The intent of the plan was not to conquer cities or industry in order to weaken the French war efforts, but to capture most of the French Army and to force France to surrender, in essence a repeat of the strategy used to defeat France during the Franco-Prussian War.
		In essence, his plan was a large scale strategic readressing of Hannibal's tactics, capitalizing on the recent breakthroughs in communications and transport.
		Several historians argue that the plan was unfeasible for its time, due to the recent advances in weaponry and the improved transportation of industrial warfare.

		Briefly, the plan was for the bulk of the German forces to attack France through neutral Belgium, capture Paris, force France to sue for peace, then send the victorious German armies east to defeat the Russians.
		It was at this point that a major flaw in the Schlieffen Plan became apparent.
		Moltke changed the plan in enforcing the centre (Verdun) and the left wing (Rhine/Vogeses), and as a result, the German right wing was not strong enough anymore, whereas the centre/left wing were too strong.

	Could Germany Win WWI - World Affairs Board
		It was very clear, even at the time, that his revised plan was a half-measure, and in war a half measure is often worse than none at all.
		Plan 17 is probably the same disaster it was historically, but probably no worse either, and the French don't have to worry about the sweep through Belgium immediately after the disasterous 'Battle of the Frontiers'.
		The key from my perspective though is that the German military leaders in charge didn't understand the plan well enough to realize how they were compromising it with their 'minor changes'.

		This was a violation of Schlieffen's plan which did envision a French attack in central France (in order to recover Alsace-Lorraine) but planned to give ground before it thus drawing French forces away from Paris and the right wing.
		At the time, Belgium was trying to maintain a precarious neutrality and did not pass the plan on to the British or French for fear it would compromise their neutrality.
		Since the Germans could not have switched the focus of their attack from Belgium to the Ardennes, I assume that the plans captured were those of the Ardennes attack, not the WWII version of the Schleiffen plan first conceived.

		Besides the ever increasing disparity in terms of total population—by the turn of the century France had a stagnant population of around forty million, compared to fifty million Germans, and rising — there was also the problem of the reserves.

	ConsimWorld.COM - Drive on Paris (4/30/00)
		Historically, the French Plan XVII was a disaster; the Germans very nearly succeeded with their Schlieffen Plan.
		The Entente player abandons Plan XVII immediately (perhaps after making a few cursory, mandated attacks in Alsace-Lorraine), then rushes everything he can to meet the German right wing as it advances through Belgium.
		The Schlieffen Plan was perhaps the greatest military gamble in history, and the German player should not be able to casually slap down the French offensive in Alsace-Lorraine while concentrating solely on his advance on Paris.

		At the outbreak of war, the German High Command activated the Schlieffen Plan, which called for a major offensive to capture Paris in precisely 42 days.
		The German generals were so confident of success that Kaiser Wilhelm II proclaimed that he would have "Paris for lunch, St. Petersburg for dinner." If the plan worked, France would be forced to surrender and Germany could shift its forces to the eastern front and defeat the Russians before they were fully prepared to fight.
		The French would loose 27,000 men in a single day, proving that the machine gun and the long-range rifle were devastating defensive weapons against traditional warfare tactics.

		The Allies had retreated in fairly good order, however, giving General Joffre the opportunity to regroup his forces and plan the counter-attack that would be mounted along the River Marne.
