Why Germany Invaded Belgium #WW1 #WorldWar1 #History #Documentary #Europe #WarHistoryAdded:
Germany faced a dangerous situation, war on two fronts, France in the west, Russia in the east. Fighting both at once would be devastating. So, Germany chose speed, a bold plan, defeat France quickly, [music] then turn to Russia.
It was a gamble, and it would change everything.
To execute their plan, Germany needed a shortcut. They chose to invade Belgium, a neutral country, a nation that was not part of the war.
This decision shocked Europe, but more importantly, it triggered a response that would change the scale of the war forever.
