If The Far East Squadron had been luckier and the IJN hadn't been so Hyper-competent (or if the didn't overstretch themselves as much,) *Jutland would have won the war for Germany.
Of course, if the Germans had engaged in a mad rush to put ACs, CLs, and BCs out into the Atlantic (and even 1 in 5 actually made it,) it might have drawn enough of the Grand Fleet off to make a real impact.
The western front was never much more than a sideshow.

I doubt Britain would draw enough troops out for the war to be lost. Besides the British would probably draw troops from colonial positions (or maybe the Ottoman front) rather than France, which if lost would be as bad as an invasion.
