Imperial Germany was not threatened by Russian industrial dominance in the way von Moltke feared, and its military calculations also failed. Germany did not knock out France and then conquer Russia.
结果每个预测都被证明是惨重的错误。德国没有受到毛奇所害怕的俄罗斯工业优势的威胁，其军事预测也惨遭失败。德国没有击倒法国从而征服俄罗斯。相反，战争变成了一场血腥的僵局。最后，俄罗斯帝国倒塌了，为布尔什维克革命开辟了道路。
