The Battle of Jutland was the largest sea battle of the First World War, and the only time that the British and German
fleets met. The British had been happy to keep the German fleet blockaded in port; the Germans felt unable to take on the numerically
superior British fleet.
The German commander, Admiral Reinhard Scheer, entered the North Sea with the entire German High Seas Fleet in May 1916, planning to pick
off small groups of British ships. Unfortunately for him, the British had cracked the German communication codes and sent the entire
British Grand Fleet from Scapa Flow to intercept him. The two sides finally clashed off the Danish coast on May 31st, but the battle
proved to be indecisive. Both sides claimed victory, but in the end Jutland favoured the British: it preserved stalemate in the North Sea
until the end of the war.
