There ar many reasons but the main one would be that the British were the main naval power with Germany second and the Germans were always trying to beat the British. The British then invent the Dreadnought - the starting point of modern day Battleships. The Germans were also looking for a reason to start a war at this point - we can tell because of the Schlieffen Plan (to take France and Russia in a reasonably short amount of time) and that they had been building up their army for a while. They were also the ones who put pressure and practically forced Austria to declare war against Serbia after the assassination of Duke Franz Ferdinand.
