The Battle of Jutland in 1916 was the only major conflict of WW1: at best it was a minor victory for the Germans, or a draw. The Scuttling of the German Navy at the end of WW1 speaks volumes.
During the naval arms race between Britain and Germany from 1897 onwards Britain stated that it would match the increase in the size of the German navy by building double the number of battleships and other capital that Germany built.

Removal of Russia from the European naval arms race; which led to WWI.
Hitler wanted to purify the German race and create a master race free of mutations and things that he believed would set the human race back.
Kaiser Wilhelm II played a significant role in the development of the German navy and the arms race before World War I. He pushed for the expansion of the German navy to challenge British naval supremacy, leading to increased tensions between the two countries. This naval arms race was a key factor in the buildup to World War I.
The German emperor Wilhelm II had a dream of being an imperial ruler. He set his sights on having an Empire to match that of the British. To do this he would need to have a large and powerful navy. In 1900 Wilhelm decided to put this dream into practice. He ordered the construction of several large and powerful boats. The British saw this as a threat and responded by building a 'Dreadnought'. This was a fast and very dangerous boat. In turn the Germans started building this type of boat. A race started to have the largest navy. This race led to tension between Germany and the British.

Britain
The Anglo-German naval rivalry was not a main cause of WW1 but it did contribute. One of the main points is about the HMS Dreadnoughts (His Majesty's Ship) which Britain (Anglo) had built. Germany feared the Britains were catching up to them in the Naval Arms department and so decided to make 4 of these Dreadnoughts. This rivalry started an Arms Race or as some called it , 'Anglo-German naval rivalry'. Actually you will find that the Germans felt they needed a navy in order to protect their on growing trade routes and colonies such as modern day Tanzania. This did not sit weel with the british since they had been comandors of the seas since 1805 and the battle of trafulgar. They felt threatend and with it built the first of a new line of battle ships, the HMS Dreadnought. With the Germans picking up the idea they followed on. by the start of WWI the british finished with 29 dreadnoughts and the Germans 17. The fact that the Germans had threatend the british military pride ripped the two nations even further apart, and yes it was no of the reasons for the cause to WWI.
