While WWI's goals were minimal in case of culturally national borders regarding annexation at least for the Allies, it proposed very radical changes regarding territories, from colonies in Africa, Middle East and Asia to territories in Eastern Europe, and possible puppeting of Belgium / Netherlands.

What is important in large scale wars is that the transformation of classic war system where attackers try to capture wargoal and peace if they don't to a system where war goals have minimal to none impact, where only the possibility of winning war matter, with regards to manpower and resources.
For non-fascist and non-communist countries, this can be reflected in tension, regarding army projection, prestige, infamy and other things. Or the number of great powers, a war with 4-5 great power participants can be eligible for total war.
For fascist / communist countries, there may be a special war goal to conquer countries wholly. This in turn will greatly increase tension.
