France and Britain in World War I - AP World History: Modern

David Lloyd George was the Prime Minister of England from 1916-1922. Georges Clemenceau was Prime Minister of France from 1917 to 1920. Both men were influential in reordering Europe after World War One at the Paris Peace Conference.

David Lloyd George assumed leadership of the British government in 1915 and ruled as Prime Minister until 1922. As such, he was the British representative at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 where the victorious Allied powers discussed how to reorder Europe and the world in the wake of the First World War.

The Schlieffen Plan began life as an experiment within the German military command at how the Germany army might effectively fight a simultaneous war against Russia in the East and France in the West. Following the outbreak of the First World War, the plan was implemented in part.

Although signed into an alliance with France and Russia, Britain originally wanted to remain primarily neutral in the First World War. Certainly, Britain did not want to fully commit its forces to the conflict. However, Britain was sworn to defend Belgian sovereignty. Once Germany invaded Belgium, Britain was forced into the war on the side of France and Russia against the Germans.

World War One began on the Western Front with a massive German troop movement through Belgium and into North-Eastern France. In response to German troops moving through Belgium and occupying the nation, Britain declared war (it had promised to protect Belgian neutrality and was allied with the French). The French and the British stalled the German offensive at the Battle of the Marne, and the mobile period of the First World War ended, to be was replaced with years of brutal trench warfare.
