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.

The exact length of the Spanish armada is unknown but I have read that is took several weeks to complete this monstrous task.
They were a strong army and could easily invade and take over
No, Queen Elizabeth I was England's monarch during the time of the Spanish Armada (1588). Queen Elizabeth did not actually take part in the sea battle.
So he could avoid the Spanish ships from using their grappling hooks on them. Spanish armada had more soldiers so they tried to board the English ships.
Could you please specify which Armada you are referring to? There have been several historical events known as "Armada," such as the Spanish Armada in 1588. If you provide more details, I can give you the specific month related to that event.
Gold and Silver and other treasures, Elizabeth encouraged them to do this, this was one of the reasons for the Spanish armada xxx
Yes and without ever coming within range of the armada. Although it would probably take a while...... And they would have to come in RANGE of the armada, or else they couldn't hit it. A missile-equipped frigate would not have to come in SIGHT of the armada, however.
The fact that the Spanish armada was attacking England in an attempt to take it over, overthrow queen Elizabeth I and turn England back into a Catholic country. After the Spanish armada was defeated, it had massive effects for both countries. England had a huge boost in morale while Spain suffered greatly financially because great amounts of money were spent on the armada. While in this financial difficulty, Spain couldn't afford to launch another attack on England.
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.
