The tiny quibble is that the Oberste Heeresleitung was a wartime organization and did not come into existence until after the decision for war was taken, so you can't pin the war on the group of that name. The Großer Generalstab is what existed prewar. Of course, the Großer Generalstab 'staffed' the Oberste Heeresleitung when it was formed, so the distinction is not exactly stark....
The big quibble is that it's not clear to me that the Austrians only attacked Serbia with German permission/instigation.
Nonetheless, I do believe the Germans embraced the war in anticipation of a quick and glorious conquest of France....
