[I disagree with the Federalist on this. Not just the repairs but the whole Versailles Treaty seemed calculated to cause another war. Which, is exactly what it did. Germany did not start WWI. It was not seeking to dominate Europe or indeed any territorial aggrandizement.]
No it didn’t. Austria-Hungary responded to an act of state sponsored terrorism on the part of Serbia. Russia then backed Serbia and contrary to their promise not to do so, also mobilized troops on Germany’s border. That left Germany no choice - as they had explained to the Russians in advance. When the Germans asked France if they would stay neutral or use the opportunity to attack Germany, the French responded that they would have to “consult their interests”.....which everybody knew to mean “yes” they planned to attack Germany with Russia now Committed to war.
German wasn’t seeking to acquire anybody’s empire. WWII, yes but not WWI.
