It appears I misunderstood the context of it. I did some more research and found out I was wrong.
SEPTEMBERPROGRAMM The Septemberprogramm (Ger.: "September Program") was the plan for the territorial expansion of Imperial Germany, prepared for Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, in the early weeks of the First World War (1914–18). The Chancellor's private secretary, Kurt Riezler, drafted the Septemberprogramm on 9 September 1914, in the early days of the German attack in the west, by which Germany expected to quickly and decisively defeat France. The extensive territorial conquests proposed in the Septemberprogramm required making vassal states of Belgium and France, in Western Europe, and seizing much of European Russia, in Eastern Europe. The territorial-expansion program of Imperial Germany was not effected, because the trench-warfare stalemate, which ensued the initial action of the War, occupied most of the German army in Western Europe to realise the Septemberprogramm .[1]
