The successful blockade of Germany contributed to its military defeat in 1918, and, still in effect, enforced the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in mid-1919.
The British had the Royal Navy which was superior in numbers and could operate on most of the world's oceans because of the British Empire, whereas the German Kaiserliche Marine surface fleet was mainly restricted to the German Bight, and used commerce raiders and unrestricted submarine warfare to operate elsewhere.
The German Empire relied on imports for food and domestic food production (especially fertilizer) and the United Kingdom relied heavily on imports to feed its population, and both required raw materials to supply their war industry the powers aimed, therefore, to blockade one another. It took place largely in the seas around the British Isles and in the Mediterranean.
