Who found Ireland?

While many believe it was the Celts crossing from Britain, there were people in Ireland long before that. It is now reliably believed that the first people came to Ireland by sea from the north of Spain. There is a lot of genetic evidence to support this and people in the west of Ireland in particular bare a resemblance to people in northern Spain. That is not, as many believe, a result of the survivors of the Spanish Armada settling in Ireland.


What happens after the Spanish break up in the Spanish armada?

What happens where? To whom? Some of the armada ships, for example, struggled on up the east coast of England and round the north of Scotland, then south via the west coast and Ireland. From those that were not wrecked en route, some survivors were rescued and chose to live where they had become stranded. I believe some even made it back to Spain. Clearly, the outcome had negative effects on the Spanish, and positive ones on the English, national morale.


Were there Spanish settlers in Ireland?

They weren't actually settlers. They were the soldiers and sailors of the disastrous invasion of the Spanish Armada by King Phillip II of Spain in 1588. After being defeated in the English Channel, the remaining Spanish Galleons attempted to flee by going east through the channel, then north, and then turning south once they passed Ireland. They were hit by several storms off the north and west coast of Ireland where thousand were stranded. When it became apparent that they were not going to be rescued they remained in Ireland and became known as the "Black Irish".

Who won the war between UK and Spain?

If you mean the Spanish Armada? Then Great Britain was the victor over Spain's wish to invade Great Britain, and impose Catholicism as the state religion. The famous British weather, especially in the English Channel, also helped to forced the Spanish further north than planned. Also, due to a misunderstanding with their Dutch Allies, they were force to take the long way round to return to Spain. (Or face the waiting English fleet if they tried to sail back through the English Channel.) Passing westerly over the top of Scotland, and then south to pass to the west of Ireland, proved a further difficulty in which more Spanish ships were lost.
