Improved Greenboy shell performance could affect more than Jutland itself, potentially altering both the scale of a British victory and the later naval settlement. The earlier this technical change enters the war, the more opportunities it has to influence later decisions. The outcome still depends on whether the High Seas Fleet is defeated in detail. If Germany retains enough strength to bar a British move into the Baltic, American entry, Wilson's Fourteen Points, and naval treaty negotiations could still follow more familiar paths.

Greenboy shells and a different Jutland
Better British shells at Jutland could change the war's later naval balance, but only if the High Seas Fleet were defeated in detail.
