Year 09 History

Date Due

Additional Info
You can choose to be a German, French, Belgian or British soldier fighting in August 1914. Write a letter to a friend or family member, explaining why you think the German offensive (the Schlieffen Plan) has failed. You can write at any time (during invasion of Belgium, during Battle of Mons, Battle of Marne etc) but this should affect what you write about.

Make sure to include specific historical detail based on the reasons for the plan's failure (studied in class today).

This can be typed or handwritten but must be properly titled and put in your exercise book. The length should be about 3/4 of a page A4.
