2. Thesis
The Battle of Jutland between the British and German navies led to the usage of German submarines, which ultimately resulted in the increase of German naval power as the Germans stood up to the almighty British navy. The newfound confidence and improvements in naval warfare of Germany led to the eventual entry of the US as well.

3. Leading Up to the Battle
Exchange of gunfire between British and German scout ships (history.com).
British fleet met the German fleet near coast of Denmark (history.com).
British Naval Leader: Admiral John Jellicoe.
German Naval Leader: Admiral Reinhard Scheer (history.com). Jutland was the first time that the British and Germans battled on a large scale. Afterwards, only small skirmishes took place for the rest of the war and both navies took a major hit.

5. The Battle: May 1916
About 250 ships totaled, with nearly 100,000 men aboard (history.com).
British took heavy hits from Scheer’s battleships. Jellicoe almost lost the battle before it really began but managed to save his fleet through brilliant maneuvering tactics (history.com).
Later, Jellicoe directed his ships using a naval formation known as “Crossing the T.”
Jellicoe’s ships finally won, and Scheer was forced to retreat (history.com).
England retained North sea control after Jutland.
Both sides still claimed victory.
Each country won in a different way:
British victory of strategy. They pushed the Germans back.
German victory of material/supply
The British lost thousands of men, ships, and equipment. Germany only lost about half the number (history.com). Thus Jutland was considered just as much of a German victory as a British one.

9. Significance cont... Britain was no longer invincible.
Germans’ psychological win: ego boost!
Fact of their navy still existing led to...
Unrestricted submarine warfare
Extraneous citizen involvement
Germans killed a ship of 100+ Americans and British
Stopped for a while
Started again as starving the British would help them win the war
America then joined WWI
