( B) fear of a two-front war against France and Russia (C) the need to put down a communist rebellion
(D) a competition with the Allies to produce atomic weapons

Answer 1

The correct answer is B) fear of a two-front war against France and Russia

When the WWI broke out Germany hoped to limit the war between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, but soon the conflict involved Russia, Germany, France, and Great Britain. Because of this Germany’s biggest fear became reality, Germany faced a two-front war against France and Russia. Because of this Germany, created the Schlieffen Plan that consisted of defeating France first.
