What exactly was Germany's endgame in WW1?
Let's say they take Paris and the rest of France or whatever. What then? Keep going to Britain?
I've always been taught WW1 was the culmination of a lot of pent up tension but never really understood what the actual point was.

Offer a white peace to the British Empire where Germany pulls out of all occupied territory and reinstates the governments there all while taking a bunch of French colonies.

There wasn't any. Basically everyone had some defense pact with everybody else and kept shit secret. Ferdinand died and it was enough to be seen as an act of war. Because of all these backdoor deals and alliances, everyone gets dragged in to fight because everyone is allied with a million other people and have to honor it.
It was such a pointless clusterfuck.

Prestige and hegemony over Europe.
France would be subdued and degraded to second-rate power.
Russia would be forced out war, weakened or balkanized (this sort of happened.
Britsh sea power would be weakened and some colonies possibly stripped from them.

AH gets to annex the Serbs.
Germany gets Russian clay and French colony clay.
