Battle of Jutland

The Battle of Jutland, fought in 1916 during World War I, was the largest naval clash between the British Royal Navy and the German Imperial Navy in the North Sea. Both sides aimed to control the vital sea routes and challenge each other's naval power. The battle involved many ships, including battleships and cruisers, engaging in intense gunfire over two days. Although the Germans claimed some strategic gains, the British maintained naval dominance, preventing German access to the Atlantic. The battle ended inconclusively but significantly shaped naval strategies and underscored the importance of naval power in modern warfare.
