Although some preliminary plans had been made after England's entrance into the Netherlands conflict (Treaty of Nonsuch, 1585), the Armada was assembled in mid-1587 and sailed in 1588. The conflict continued as part of a wider, undeclared Anglo-Spanish War, until around 1604.

When was it in 1586 that Spain decided to send an armada?

In 1586, Spain decided to send an armada primarily in response to ongoing conflicts with England, particularly due to English support for the Dutch Revolt and attacks on Spanish shipping. The decision to prepare the armada was solidified after the capture of the city of Cádiz by Sir Francis Drake in 1587, which heightened tensions and prompted King Philip II of Spain to take military action to protect Spanish interests and assert dominance. This led to the planning of the infamous Spanish Armada, which ultimately set sail in 1588.
