And didn't France declare war on Germany first? Why would Germany willingly open up a two-front war?
Because Germany had no military plans for a one-front war.
Actually Germany did have plans for a one from war. There was Aufmarsch II Ost which was a single front plan.
Also there was Aufmarsch I Ost, in which Germany would take the defensive in the West, and defeat Russia first.
Aufmarsch II West, which was actually executed was just one of three plans (Aufmarsch I West had been dropped).
