No, of course not, espeically as 'going to war' involved the likelihood of war with Russia. There is plenty of documentary evidence that shows that the German government and, even more, the German General Staff egged Austria on in July 1914. Some have argued that Austria-Hungary was used as a kind of stooge to unleash the war that the German General Staff wanted. Please see the related question below.

Who declared war on Russia?
In WWI, the Alliance system was so confusing that a small dispute, by international standards at least, in Serbia caused a major conflict. In response to the assassination of the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, the Austro-Hungarian empire declared war on Serbia on 28th July. Russia mobilised in support of the Serbs. In support of Austro-Hungary Germany declared war on Russia as the French mobilised to support Russians. 3 August: Germany declares war on France and then 4 August: Britain declares war on Germany.
