invades Belgium
On the 3rd of August 1914 Germany declared war on
France and invaded Belgium. They did this because
they wanted to implement the Schlieffen plan. The
Schlieffen plan is a tactic that Germany had been
planning long before 1914. German men crossed the
Belgian frontier and attacked Liege. This created the
battle of Liege. They advanced to Liege in a right
flanking move which was designed to defeat the
French - as a result of this Britain declared war on
Germany.
