- The Spanish Armada- England's presence in the Americas brought England into conflict with Spain. Attacks by English sailors on Spanish ships bringing gold from the Americas angered King Philip II of Spain. Also, England-a Protestant country-had provided support for Protestants subjects who had rebelled against Catholic Spain. So, in 1588, Philip II sent an invasion force of 130 ships and 19,000 soldiers against England. The English ships were faster and better-armed than Spanish ships which gave them an advantage. After several days of fighting, the Spanish were completely defeated. This crushing blow seriously weakened Spain.
