I would say, he was killed because Bosnian Serbs wanted to be free.

So the short sentence can be : Bosnian Serbs wanted to be free.

An alternative statement could be he was killed by a member of a state-sponsored terrorist organization hoping to provoke a war benefiting Serbian expansionism.

I'm not, by the way, a fan of the Austrian Empire or its avatar, Austria-Hungary. It was, in my view, a deeply despotic and repressive regime that was a leader in causing human misery in many parts of 19th Century Europe.
 
I have made these 3 maps of things to remember, do they sound right, do i need to add more things to remember? i think i'll leave these facts alone once you have checked them.

All are OK Alec. Well done.

One note only... The field with the date "Died 1913" only at the blue branch suggests that the Schlieffen's plan passed away in 1913. Contrary to that , the green branch says that Alfred von Schlieffen was created in 1905. So it is not logical or even funny I would say. In other words it was Alfered von Schlieffen who died in 1913 while his plan was created in 1905. I suggest changing of the two fields with the dates there. The green one should be with the "Died 1913" and the blue one with the "Created 1905". Just swap the contents of these....

 
So what you're saying is, whatever is relevant to a person, ie Alfred von schlieffen, i should put what applies to him on the same branch? Is this ok now? what about the defeated France in less than 6 weeks, should that go somewhere else?

Yes Alec. It is.

Now, you have there all facts regarding the Schlieffen's Plan and him personally listed correctly. That's perfect. Any additional changings aren't needed.
 
Instead of Defeat France in less than 6 weeks? Can I say to wipe out France first before attacking Russia?
 
So how else could I say it? I'm trying to explain events in my head so if people ask me what was the Schlieffen Plan I could tell them without looking at my notes.
 
Shall I erase this point and just say it was a plan for Germans to avoid a two front war?
 
Yes, you can do that. The sentence "It was a plan for Germans to avoid a two front war" is also enough good explanation of what the Schlieffen's plane was.
 
No im sorry i feel i need to say, it was a plan to avoid a two front war by attacking France first before Russia. Does that sound ok?
 
I undestood. But saying that it was a plan to avoid a two front war by attacking France first before Russia, isn't correct. Germans didn't want to attack Russia after they could defeat the France. Germans worried about being attacked by the France and Russia form both sides. I mean from the West and East. The German Army wasn't enough strong to fight against the French and Russian Armies at the same time. So Schlieffen came up with an idea of defeating France before the Russia could attack Germany to support the French ally.. Having the France defeated , Germans could move their units from the Wast to the East in order to stop the very possible Russian attack or support already fighting weak and rare units on the Eastern Front. In other words, Schlieffen followed the well-known rule that the best way of defence is an attack. But it can relate to the France only but not to the Russia.

I would suggest using one of these sentences... IMHO the first one sounds good and is enough.

"It was a plan for Germans to avoid a two front war"
or
"Tt was a plan to avoid a two front war by attacking France before struggling against Russia.
