The three German-american wars between 1898 and 1903 are seen as a prelude to the Great War of 1906-1911. The first one saw just one real clash between german and american forces and that even in the Pacific, far away from the Caribic, the Battleground of the later wars. Still it gave Germany major gains in the Pacific and the Caribic and was seen as a german victory. The second war saw more battles, but even when German were mostly victorious, the war was at best a strategic draw for Germany. The third war is seen as a clear german defeat, even if they didn´t lost their pacific and caribic posssesions till the beginning of the Great War. So the question is: Could the Germans do better in this wars and if yes, would that prefent the Great war?
