As the Central Powers were a collection of allied nation states, their overall goal was the same (to defeat the allies); however different states were fighting for different reasons.

Austria-Hungry wanted to annex Serbia and its Adriatic neighbours to add to its territorial power-base. Germany was fighting to destroy the Triple Entente Alliance between France, Britain and Russia to secure its military, political and economic dominance in Europe. The Ottomans were fighting to secure their crumbling empire and to protect their dominions and waterways.
