They NEVER counted on the English coming in and making a stand

Everyone knew the United Kingdom would become involved. Have you ever read the Sherlock Holmes story, The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans? In 1912, it was already accepted by the public that Germany and the United Kingdon would be at war soon.

The Germans expected to fight the Brits on the sea, not on the land. That was one of the biggest flaws in their planning
