The Aftermath of Jutland

Speaker: Professor Andrew Lambert

This talk examines the aftermath of the Battle of Jutland in 1916, the largest naval clash of the First World War. Though tactically inconclusive, its strategic consequences shaped the rest of the conflict at sea.

We explore how the Royal Navy maintained dominance, the German fleet’s curtailed ambitions, and how perceptions of victory and loss influenced morale, propaganda, and naval policy in the years that followed.
