After World War I ended, the general in charge of the German army’s railway division admitted that it might have been possible to have mobilized for only a one-front war. What was the significance of this?

a. The war might have been smaller and fought only on German territory.
b. Probably none, since Germans had thought themselves able to fight a two-front war, and were undeterred in doing so.
c. The war might have ended up a less bloody and prolonged one-front war instead of the disastrous two-front war it was, although a war would still have occurred.
d. None, since a two-front war between the great powers was inevitable at this point, regardless of German actions.
