They didn't want a war. They, like the other colonial powers, had much to lose and nothing to gain by going to war. Germany wanted to go to war as they arrived late on the colonial scene and therefore wanted to get some colonies. Since the great colonial empires weren't about to give up their lands and there wasn't really anywhere else to colonise they decided to go to war in the hope of being able to wrestle some land from the empires in the peace settlements (should they have won).
