They wanted to gain more land.
at first the Germans wanted to build an railway to the east through the balkans - who were a very poor area of Europe. Germany was part of the central powers, there was also Austria-hungry; they wanted to stop Serbia from stirring up the slavic people, then there was Russia who was a allied power, and was also a salvic country, and they wanted access from the black sea controlled by Turkish empire. and then there was Italy who wanted to control the other side of the Atlantic sea.
then the Germans wanted land in Paris in 1915, this was when they used the schlieffen plan and wanted to fight France and russia.
This is a really generalizing answer - but it points out the true reason for the clash between big force nations during ww1. Overall one could say they - and specially Germany - wanted to secure their spot as "big shark in the sea". These west-european nations (including England and France) had colonies all over the world. Some kind of try to get the control of planet earth. Germany itself had reunion problems and missed some time during which other countries conquered foreign territory (colonies) - the country tried to regain the "lost" by provoking war. On one hand it was a "who's the strongest" situation among the leaders in Europe. But the citizens weren't asked of course - they just listened to commands.
They wanted Germany, a broken and defeated country, to pay money to England and France. England and France owed money to the USA and the USA wanted its loans to the two countries paid back, so England and France felt the only source of revenue was Germany. If the USA had forgiven its war time loans to England and France, and if England and France had not forced Germany to pay them a lot of money; there might not have been a WWII. The amount of money Germany had to pay made a lot of Germans hate England, France and the USA.
