'cause Britain managed to control the English channel. Because almost everything was shipped by sea. If Germany had been able to prevent ships from getting to Europe from America the Europeans wouldn't have had anything to fight with, and wouldn't have had American troops to win the war for them.

Primarily a war of Guerre de Course (Commerce Raiding), as Germany was not a traditional naval power.

Germany introduced submarine warfare on a large scale, isolating Europe from supplies in the Americas.

The Battle of Jutland was a huge naval battle that resulted in changes to ship design and tactics.
