March German army across Germany and invade Russia. After Paris is captured, they go into Russia because they can't win a major European war without fighting Russia. Assumptions: 1. Belgium won't defend its self because it's so small and will remain neutral. 2. England will stay neutral because they hate France and Germany know that, but not that they have a secret treaty. 3. Russia would be so slow to mobilize troops that Germany wouldn't fight 2 different armies at the same time-- wanted to avoid 2 front war (fighting Russia and fighting France) None of these come true, but the Germans win anyway.
