How and why did the Battle of the Marne affect the Schlieffen Plan?

Answer

Due to the considerations of the Schlieffen Principle, in which the forces of Germany were halted and pushed back to a retreat, the battle of the Marne led to the failure of this plan.

Schlieffen Plan is seen as the form of how Germany planned to conduct a war in the first dramatic of the First World War, conclusively dealing with France after which it would turn to fight Russia. It entailed a fast-paced movement through Belgium and northern France with a view of surrounding Paris. But this plan did not come to fruition as the famous battle of the Marne in September 1914 upset the plan. Forces from different allied countries such as the French and the British went on the offense and managed to repel the Germans. Out of this conflict came a stalemate on the Western Front and thus involved trench warfare. Marne was the fall of the Schlieffen Plan; it marked a check for Germany in their bid to achieve a swift victory on the western front thus leading to the disappointing situation of fighting a two-front war which Germany had not planned for. Thus, this turn of events greatly influenced the progress of the First World War.
