    They want you to explain how and why Germany won the battle of Jutland.

    Explanation:

    So this is what I would say

    Just before four o'clock in the afternoon on May 31, 1916, a British naval force commanded by Vice Admiral David Beatty confronts a squadron of German ships, led by Admiral Franz von Hipper, some 75 miles off of the Danish coast. The two squadrons opened fire on each other starting the greatest naval battle called The Battle of Jutland-also known as the Battle of the Skagerrak, to the Germans.

    Bad weather tampered with the airships. So Scheer called off the raid, instead ordering his fleet of 24 battleships, five battle cruisers, 11 light cruisers, and 63 destroyers, to head north, to the Skagerrak, a waterway located between Norway and northern Denmark, off the Jutland Peninsula, where they could attack Allied shipping interests and with luck, punch a hole in the stringent British blockade.

    The Battle of Jutland-also known as the Battle of the Skagerrak, to the Germans-engaged a total of 100,000 men aboard 250 ships over the course of 72 hours. The Germans, giddy from the glory of Scheer's brilliant escape, claimed it as a victory for their High Seas Fleet.
