An idea! In WWI instead of invading Belgium the Schliffen Plan calls for an invasion of the Netherlands and Luxembourg to get around the french defences. The UK goes to war to defend Dutch sovereignty but the Dutch are pushed to the coast rapidly and defeated similar to OTL Belgium Thus the British blockade is harder and the Germans win the Battle of Jutland due to stretched British naval lines. Its up to you if Germany wins or loses but I'd like a stalemate and German occupation of the low countries.
