Why might the results of the battle of the spanish Armada increase enthusiasm for English Colonization?

The results of the battle of the Spanish Armada in 1588 might have increased enthusiasm for English colonization because of the dangers that still faced England (or, Great Britain) after the battle was won. Despite the defeat of the Spanish, there were continued hostilities, and the Spanish would continue to plan movements against the English homeland even to the point of inciting religious-based unrest. For some, escape to the New World could easily have seemed a desirable alternative to remaining in harm's way.

Why was the spanish armada formation well planned?

It was so well planned because the king of Spain had worked hard to get a very in depth plan that would be completely brilliant. He had other people like friends, family, who were helping the Spanish king to figure out the perfect plan. He wouldn't have been a good weatherman! The day they came a storm was inbound to where they were invading and messed up there entire plan. This is very lucky for Elizabeth I, and also the people of Britain. Britain may not have been how we know it if there was no storm.

Why the Spanish Armada failed?

-Armada had to leave some ships behind. Started with 150, had to leave 26 ships behind, now with 124 ships. -Armada ships had difficulties in May. -Armada thought most of the English fleet were in Dover, but were in fact in Plymouth. -Planning a campaign was difficult in that time as there was no way of fast communication. - The weather! - The Armada's maps were inaccurate. - Philip II didn't plan the Armada out very well. The commander, the Duke of Medina-Sidonia, had no experience in sea warfare, and was hampered by his instructions on how and when to engage the enemy. - The Armada lacked food and water, and most of the time were far from any friendly ports. - Armada had weak ships that were blown off course by the atrocious weather. - Philip (King of Spain) didn't want to spend a lot of money on ships, ship supplies and soldiers, whereas Elizabeth I (Queen of England) did. - Armada had lack of experience on English waters. -
