    All the powers had some imperialistic ambitions that lead to the war:

    - Russia wanted a warm water port/ control of dardanelles
    - France wanted Alsace-Lorraine back, a formerly French territory that was taken in the earlier Franco-Prussian War
    - Germany like you said, wanted land in Africa like the rest of the European powers and this caused tension between it and the others
    - Italy wanted land from Austria-Hungary
    - Serbia wanted Bosnia-Herzegovina from the Austrians

    Pretty much, the war was just an excuse for everyone to grab some land.
