Best Answer

The Spanish Armada was beset with misfortune and errors from the start, encountering storms both before and after their battles with the English fleets.

  • the English drove them into sand banks
  • the English sent fire ships into their anchorage to panic the Spanish
  • the stormy weather pushed the surviving Spanish into rocks in Scotland and then Ireland
