In the early days of WWI, Germany had intentions of becoming the undisputed power in Europe after victory, with enough territory, people and resources to challenge the US in the future.

The general aim of the war is security for the German Reich in west and east for all imaginable time. For this purpose France must be so weakened as to make her revival as a great power impossible for all time. Russia must be thrust back as far as possible from Germany's eastern frontier and her domination over the non-Russian vassal peoples broken.

They followed through on that in the East with the harsh Treaty of Brest-Litovsk ending the war between Bolshevik Russia and the Central powers. So I'd expect they would do the same in the West if they could have knocked out France.
