Spain was the dominant sea power in Europe beginning in medieval times, but this effectively ended with the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. After a century of near-unilateral exploration of the New World, Spain was effectively challenged by other countries, notably the Dutch, the French, and the British.

Who controlled the season until 1588?

Until 1588, Spain was the dominant power in Europe, controlling vast territories and wielding significant influence through its wealth from the Americas and its formidable military. The Spanish Armada was a symbol of this power, aimed at asserting dominance over the seas and countering English influence. However, the defeat of the Armada in 1588 marked a turning point, leading to the gradual decline of Spanish supremacy and the rise of England as a major naval power. This shift would lay the groundwork for the future balance of power in Europe.
