Not remotely. The Kaiser and his allies wanted a quick victorious war. They seized upon the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand as a pretext to launch it. And they nearly got one by following the Schlieffen plan.
However the Schlieffen plan involved invading neutral Belgium. This brought Britain directly into the war (due to the strategic importance of the Scheldt as an invasion platform).
Also the atrocities performed in Belgium moved American opinion sharply against Germany: a fact which made America's entry into the war much more likely.
Finally: the French proved a harder nut to crack than the German high command expected. The BEF forced Kluck to abandon the Schlieffen plan, exposing his armies flank to the garrison of Paris: this in turn made possible the victorious Battle of the Marne that left the warring sides locked in trench warfare.
Be in no doubt. The Germans started the war. They wanted the war. They didn't (of course) want the war that actually developed: four years of trench warfare and a capitulation forced by blockade.
They could in time have paid the reparations. They chose instead to print money, destroying their own middle class, their common morality and their respect for property. They became infected by moral hazard. With a denuded middle class they rapidly fell prey to left-wing demagogues such as Hitler.
When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, the average German was lukewarm to the war....But once France fell, they became very enthusiastic.
