Germany’s resource demands were much lower in WWI, the primary problem being acquiring enough nitrate to both crops and produce explosives. Had Fritz Haber not solved the problem on the eve of war Germany would have needed to sue for peace at the end of 1914.pic.twitter.com/O5a7PYDEXQ
I’ve never heard this stated explicitly, but in retrospect Germany’s desperate dash through Belgium must have been predicated on this resource constraint. By 1914 though the problem was gone, meaning they would been much better off playing nice and keeping Britain out of the war
if they'd kept Britain out they wouldnt have had the resource constraint to deal with, Chile would have been happy to sell if it didnt mean trying to slip past a British blockade and through a minefield.
I don’t believe the Schlieffen plan was developed wrt 1914 resource constraints (it predated the war significantly), it was based on the view that German would lose a 2 front war and so had to knock out one front asap (with France being the only option due to size of Russia)
