Not really. Those offensive were very unlikely to win the war. They look more impressive on a map then in reality. He really had no strategic plan, its was basically 'Lets attack and hope for the best'.

Part of the original plan was to first win in the west, in order to avoid fighting a war on two fronts at the same time.
