The Russians had offered to the British to land on the Baltic shore of Germany and march towards Berlin, if only the Brits could take them there. With the High Seas Fleet still in being, the Royal Navy had its Grand Fleet tied in patrol duties in the North Sea.

In the event of a victory at Jutland, the UK could have taken the Russian offer. Russia was quite serious about going on an offensive, they started the Brusilov campaign only days after Jutland. If the Germans were forced to move troops to protect Berlin, then either the Western or the Eastern front might have collapsed.
