Yes. The tension over the arms race that had taken place since the unification of the German states, the weakening of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires, the Pan-Slavic nationalist movement and the French hatred of Germany over the loss of Alsace-Lorraine was bound to resolve itself in a war sooner or later. WWI's perpetrator in this case would most likely be Germany. The Kaiser's belief of Germany " Needing to have a place in the sun" would most likely make Germany to direct aggression onto Belgium or Russia, both having strong ties with France.
