Ah, so The Germans didn't turn tail and run when they realised the Grand Fleet was not only at sea but also engaging them. I guess if they mopped the floor then the High Seas Fleet was now safe to sortie whenever they wanted after Jutland
I'd take issue with the French being a major factor in the loss of the American colonies. From what I've read they hardly did a thing. They were asked by US Commanders to help, but they frequently either refused and sailed home or to the Caribbean. Getting them to do something helpfull was like pulling teeth.
